This is incorrect; the Kindle, for example, has a 532MHz ARM Freescale processor. The key feature of the CPUs used in most modern bookreaders is not that they are slow, but that they have an extremely low-power "sleep" mode when not in active use.
It was only the very first generation of eInk devices which had processors as slow as 200MHz - eg, the original Cybook Gen3.
