I dunno, it's not perfect, but I tend to enjoy the experience of moonreader, librera, or other really solid apps on android better than the experience on kindles, or the others I've tried that aren't android based.
That's even on eink options; I have a boox, and a kobo that are eink, with the boox running Android, and kobo whatever they used. I tend to find less hassles on the boox, despite it being their cheapest model.
I don't think any of them have really perfected the overall form and function, but I find the apps on android give better immersion and less hassle.
The apps, yes, while the system sucks (battery).
