I have a rooted nook simple-touch. It runs Android and I read ebooks using the "cool reader" app. It also enables me to read Vietnamese ebooks. It runs Anki which is very cool, but it's a little slow. It's an ordeal setting it up, but it's well worth the trouble.
For those who want to root their nook:
I used an automated version of nooter to root it, but it looks like there are more streamlined programs out there now, so look around before deciding on a rooting program. Make sure you know what firmware you're running before rooting it. After rooting you need to watch some vidoes or read blogs on how to optimize your nook-droid system. The one I'm running has some not-so-obvious tricks that I learned from a youtube video--namely a tiny, nearly-invisible tab on the right side which can be used to access android from the B&N shell.
I was wondering; are there any other e-ink devices supporting android now?
