Astonishingly, I agree with you. We have an existence proof: ixtab's hyphenation for mobis. That did all the work on the Kindle itself, and its performance and power impact (on a K4!) was so marginal that it was lost in the noise.
(What may have been impossible is things like enhanced page flip, which requires the ability to render nine pages at once, very fast. But, y'know... enhanced page flip is nearly useless because it's too small to read. I cannot imagine what Amazon were thinking when they implemented it, other than perhaps this would look cool in marketing demos.)
