For what its worth: MS Reader did good typography on even the earliest Pocket PCs running 200MHz ARM CPUs.
(Of course MS has quality typographical code that ran well on 8MHz 286s, back in the DOS days when they had to code their own printer drivers.)
It's not the CPU, since the software doesn't have to render the entire book at once, just the page being displayed. That should not require 1 GHz CPU unless you're talking JAVA. (And Kindle is raw Linux, no?)
