The only person I knew who installed Android was using a Kobo Aura HD and needed to re-image the internal uSD card multiple times during his experimentation before finally landing on dual booting (Linux from the internal uSD card, Android from the external uSD card). The version of Android he installed is so old (Gingerbread? 2.3??) that finding a Kindle app would be very unlikely.
