Personally, I don't see how another O.S. would work on the tablet devices.
They don't have any of the hardware other O.S.'s assume (such as a keyboard),
and they have such proprietary hardware. The hardware is so "touch centric",
than running a non-touch O.S. does not seem wise, but I could be wrong.

All of the tablet type devices I'm aware of can access the internet through
WiFi, which allows them to download the various books. Many of them now also
have a 4g type cellular antenna which can be used (with a subscription for
network access through your favorite telecom) to download your favorite book.
I admit I'm most familiar with putting books on Apple tablet devices. PDFs or
ePubs can be e-mailed to the device, which opens well in their reading app.
The devices allow any text (including I suppose, plain text) on the screen to
be "spoken" by the device.
