I've re-read original poster's message and now I think we all 
mis-interpreted their request.
I think they asked for a suggestion about hardware, like a tablet 
computer, or a handheld book reader capable of viewing PDFs and other 
media formats, with Debian or another Linux distro under the hood.
Probably these devices originally will run on Android or on some 
proprietary OS with locked bootloader and encrypted firmware, so the end 
user couldn't fight planned obsolescence.
Speaking from my little experience, making custom firmware will be 
incredibly difficult, also according to: https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile
