Also some of the newer Kobo OS are enabling security features such as secure boot.

The other issue is that while some of the early Android versions could be loaded with an ereader's limited RAM and storage. Current Android versions require 2-3GB of RAM, ever the Android Go version from Android 13 and up require a minimum of 2GB of RAM.

You could run Linux on a Kobo ereader, after all, that is the native OS used by Kobo but again, an ereader lacks the CPU power, RAM and storage. A Kobo ereader is likely close to the original Raspberry Pi in terms of CPU, RAM and minimum storage. Looking at the cost, you'd likely be better off with the newer Raspberry Pi devices for performance and flexibility.
