Yeah, most just run a Android launcher and the Kobo have some with LineageOS suport. But like stated; they are barely powerful enough to run the launcher fluidly. And battery life sucks for a E-reader. Honestly, nowadays i would go with a Tablet and/or a PocketBook; they at least run a Linux.
About my setup: all animations disabled in developer options, launcher inkOS, apps like Kotatau, Myne, Librery and Book Reader from F-Droid Classic. And Cromite with the setting to display a context menu on link, for those old.reddit stories.
I’ve gone with “Performancr Tweaker” from apkmirror now, this helps a bit.

Cool! I had little to no knowledge on e-readers… Wanting to buy one, and realizing how expensive they are, is what made me go for the Galaxy Tab A9+. It was about 150 bucks, on sale. I don’t regret it. I hope tweaking the scaling governor helps you some, but as I have stated in the various updates in the OP, it has its quirks…
