All that is the purpose of an eink tablet and if everything runs smoothly, there is definitely a market for this.
I doubt if many would have more than one favorite eReading app. Speaking for myself, I avoid DRM-based services (hence my avatar). And I already have a 10' color tablet for my comics. I use exactly two apps: my preferred eReading app, and a WiFi syncing app.

But more importantly, do any of the apps you list require an octacore, for what seems to be reading text and/or b&w images? It seems unlikely that these tasks would be CPU-intensive.
