That's my main rant about why I think exposing android on an e-ink device is a mistake. It's ok if it's hidden under the covers like linux is on the others.
Apps written for LCD screens often use colors that don't map well to 16 levels of gray that e-ink provides. When I first got my Boox I spent a lot of frustrating time trying trying to install the Google play store; I thought it was hanging during the installation but it turned out that it was waiting for me to tap a button which was invisible because it was almost the exact same shade of gray as the background color. Then I installed some reading apps and their color choices were awful for e-ink, and some used background images/textures on the book's pages.
