No - there are different versions, which have to be adapted to the existing hardware

It all comes down to the additional software & libraries etc. Personally I find the lack of Android a net win for an e-reader because it means you have no real advertising framework.

The result is the crap that the developer envisioned as good handling, but which in my experience never really fits

An android (with google framework & app store and shit) is a net loss in freedoms & privacy.

loss of freedom & privacy?
On Android you can choose the application you want and are happy with.
For me, that is freedom - not the compulsion of a single application that can hardly be adjusted to one's own needs.
So far, no Linux reader manufacturer has managed to create a properly functioning library management in its devices.
Well, you don't need them for 2 books either
