Well, indeed I've done a comparison of only the cpu of the top of the gamma, Kobo Forma and Kindle Oasis. The first uses a
i.MX 6 Solo, while the second uses a
i.Mx 7 Dual. The cpu of Oasis is clearly better than the one of Forma, but I have to say the biggest difference is the two cores. I don't know how much you take advantage of that on an e-reader.

Well, I don't know much about the kindle code, but I take a look at Kobo, and... well... it seems a system done by a single geek... and I suspect is Gtalusan.

I think you're analysis is completely superficial and naive. Also Kindle have the same images you posted, and it supports annotations as well.
Anyway, can you please provide us a list of e-readers that are better than Kobo in annotating text?
