That's right - the old CyBook runs CE. CE 3, to be specific.
Is there any specific reason that an eInk device has to run Linux? It's just a display technology - would it not be possible to make a Windows CE machine with an eInk display?
The combination of the old CyBook's software with the battery life of the Sony Reader would make a pretty awesome combination!
