Cheaper than cheap, and clearly not good enough in my actual Libra.
I have a Libra. It works perfectly as an ereader for real ebooks. PDFs and graphic novels are not real ebooks, they can need more screen and CPU. A5 size PDF manuals are OK on the Libra, real PDFs, not scanned paper with maybe an OCR layer.

Actually, for ebooks even the KK3 isn't too slow, it's just too low resolution. The PW3 and Kobo Aura HD H2O original are both fast enough with KF8 and epub, respectively.

For larger PDFs you need more than 7" eink. That's why larger eink often has 4 core or 8 core (Android models) and faster CPU and often worse battery life even with larger batteries.

The Libra battery life is excellent.
