So yeah. The kindle's hardware is way overkill for browsing the web quickly, or reading books.
Can't compare that. The Mac has virtual memory which the Kindle doesn't have. I'm sure you could enable it (by compiling a new kernel) so it would work for the Kindle as well. That worked for the Irex Iliad.

Perhaps you could even enable virtual memory without a new kernel. Still didn't need it before but it could be an option.
