It doesn't even require tearing apart and rebuilding. Just applications that will run under Android.

For instance, FBReader has an experimental Java version for Google Android. FBreaderJ supports ePub, fb2, and oeb formats, but future plans involve extending it to support everything FBReader does, which adds MobiPocket, Plucker, CHM, and a few other things.

If we can get to the underlying OS at all, interesting things will be possible.
