Are there any good hackable e-ink tablets? I love the feel of my Nook but the software is terrible. I want to be able to wirelessly sync content from my own document management system without much fuss. I periodically poke around on Alibaba looking for basic, blank e-ink readers but haven't seen much.

Sony made some models running Android that you could root, but I think their current offerings don't have that. For others (some Kindles, I think Nooks?) jailbreaks were also available, so that is something worth researching.

  The nook can be rooted to run Android, I'm not sure if the newest models have the capability: http://www.babblingengineer.com/how-to/how-i-turned-my-nook-into-an-e-reader-monster/ http://www.babblingengineer.com/how-to/how-i-turned-my-nook-...

The Good e-Reader runs arbitrary Android apps and has a 13" display, if that meets your needs. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reader#/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reade...
