Just a guess, it could be the screen drivers/software support for the newer screens require linux 4.x, and backporting those to the older e-reader platform (=inkpad 4 with 3.x) ran into issues.

Or more processing was moved from screen hardware to the e-reader CPU (IIRC like laserprinters and postscript, etc)... if any processing is required at all
