Clearly all this is due to lack of innovation.

No one is stopping anyone from doing anything.
It just isn't cost effective to put a lot of processing power into an ereader. Mainly because it really doesn't need it. And you probably can't price an eink tablet at something that wouldn't result in a loss to manufacture it.
Plus I think that the main processor that the ereaders use has been static for years, and has only recently had an upgrade.
My prediction is that next year's models/selling point will be new processors/speed. Kobo Glo SX. Or ZX. Or Boxster...
