I've seen nothing on Android as good as native Kindle eink, and Kobo is far better. Title, author, collection, Series, subtitle all work for library search on the Kobo ink, set by Calibre. Also Calibre can edit the info for the publisher and synopsis tabs of the ebook details.
Android also uses horrible MTP and has the huge overhead of all the Google stuff. I don't need that on a DEDICATED ereader. The eink is poor for anything other than reading novels. If I want apps, then I want a tablet with a decent 16M colour 200 fps screen instead of 14 shades, black, white and at best 10 fps.
I've had about 7 makes of Linux based dedicated ereader and several with Android. The only decent Android dedicated eink reader I used was the Sony PRS-T2, and it might as well have run the same Linux as the PRS-350 I have. The only point of Android is Playstore Apps, otherwise it's a pointless bloat.
