Sorry, but what are you talking about?

I really think you need to tell us what hardware you're referring to.

As for getting a standard GNU / Linux system onto eBook reader hardware, I
would say:

a) very unlikely, given the storage capacity typically available

b) very disappointing even if you manage, given the performance of eBook
reader CPUs, and especially eInk displays

c) very inconvenient, assuming it's a device with a touch screen and no
Bluetooth or USB OTG mode (which would have enabled you to connect an external
mouse and/or keyboard).

There are, of course, many eBook readers running Android, but that's a far cry
from a full GNU / Linux setup.
