Don't forget that LaTeX was created in the early 1980s. The best Mac of the 1980s was the IIci - a 25MHz (yes, twenty-five MHz) 32-bit 68030 processor with a maximum of 8MB, since more than 8MB couldn't be used by the operating system.
The Kindle Keyboard has a 532MHz 32-bit ARM processor with 256MB of RAM.
That's a lot faster and a lot more memory than any 1980s personal computer.
