Faster processor doesn't necessarily mean greater power consumption, all parameters of processors evolve, not just clock speed.

If you want the device mostly for reading, don't ever buy anything with an lcd screen. I made that mistake. People around you will keep on droning that eink reader is a single purpose device, that you would be better off with a multifunctional handheld. That's nonsense in my experience. Since I bought cybook my pda is catching dust on the shelf most of the time.
It's clumsy interface what makes eink reader slow , if you combine touchscreen interface with a quality dictionary you get the device of your dreams (and mine). You just need to wait a few more months for the touchscreen devices to make it on the market.
