I don't know of any Android e-ink devices. Android mostly runs on tablets and smartphones.

I believe Barnes & Noble nook e-ink devices (Simple Touch, Glowlight) run android in the background. However, you'd have to "root" the device to access android features -- here's one article discussing this -- you can find more similar articles via google or xda-developers.com:
