AFAIK since both have identical SoCs and same amount of ram, as well as the same screen resolution.

I hope this post is allowed, and I'm asking this question from a perspective of someone who doesn't know much at all about Kindle's own hardware. Would love to learn it more though.
Other aspects of the hardware are different. People that have forced such installs via the serial port or before amazon had safeguards in place ended up with bricks.
