I'm not sure a pure ereader like the Kindle or Kobo needs a more powerful CPU. The Android ereaders do, yes, but then again Android requires a lot more resources.
Frankly, a pure ereader spends a lot of time just sitting there doing nothing while you read the screen. That would leave enough time to finish resource-intensive tasks, wouldn't it?
I'd think that Kobo would have put a dual-core CPU in the Aura H2O if it were worthwhile. They could have marketed it as being twice as powerful as any other ereader on the market.
Amazon could have done the same with the Kindle Voyage.
