I dunno, I had a kobo many years ago, put an android launcher on there and could use it as an e-ink tablet. Don’t know if you can still do this, but it was pretty handy.
I do that too, except that Android e-inks are usually underpowered for anything except a reading software. Which would be fine with a minimal Linux, less so with a weird Java VM and a 100 subsystems that uses WebGL for rendering (Kitkat is where hw req tripled).
Android is still a bad match for e-reader usecase and hardware but whatever.

I bought a Kindle Fire back when, not really considering that it wasn’t really an ereader.
Waste of money.
