Having worked on small consumer-grade devices like this I am aware but you would be surprised how seriously under-powered the processor is. At the end of the day, it is as powerful as it needs to be for 90% of the public. Any more powerful and they would have to deal with heat and power consumption not to mention cost issues. It is a trade-off. I mean the processors in your typical ereader are less powerful than 2-3 generations old PC/Mac gear. Thats why my Nook costs less than your iPad, A lot less. It does less too but that is fine; it does *enough*, quickly *enough*. For me that is; as they say, YMMV.
