Thing is, the software on the Linux device is programmed to del with color to 16 shades of gray.

Android apps think in terms of color. So they don't display color pictures nearly as well. Also, a lot of Android reading apps don't know enough about CSS such a Neoreader, FBReader, Moon+, etc. So it's not easy to find an app that understand CSS and has a god enough set of features and good eBook management. Take a look at Kobo and Onyx with stock firmware and no add-on/patches. Kobo has better reading software and eBook management So for someone who doesn't patch and/or install add-ons/other software, An android Reader is not a good idea.

I forget which Android Reader uses FBReader as the reading app (What a disaster).
