64MB, 32MB and 128MB system RAM respectively. As I previously noted, this is a problem for raster KF8/AZW3 books. This almost certainly contributed to Amazon's hard requirement of 256MB for AZW3 support.
K1 has 256MB storage which isn't enough for version 2 of the Kindle OS never mind anything more recent. K2 has 2GB and DX has 4GB but the OS partitions are too small for recent versions of the OS and the KFX support libraries. While they could be repartitioned, doing so on the fly is begging for bricking.
Arguments can also be made for the older, slower processors being a hindrance to rendering raster books and to supporting the more complex features that KF8 and KFX provide.
