If a reader has WiFi and is powered by Android, does it automatically means that an Android app can be installed?
No, it isn't automatic. The recent Sony ereaders run Android, but the most recent of them can't be rooted. So, you can't install arbitrary apps on them. You'll have to do research on any candidates you come up with.
