That said, it's definitely non-zero, the Kindle firmware is designed in a way that lends itself fairly well to parallelism, as far as these things go.

EDIT: Scratch that, the i.MX7D is two A7, while the i.MX6SL(L) is one A9. So, not exactly the same CPU . The A7 should be more power-efficient, at the expense of performance.
That may all be true, but the KOA2 can turn pages much faster than the Voyage even though it has a lot more text on screen.
