A minor note, Kindles have enormously more memory and disk space than the earliest devices to run X. Heck, they have enormously more memory and disk space than the earliest devices I personally ran X11 on. For that matter I decommissioned a desktop box running X that had less memory and disk space than the Kindle Paperwhite in only 2009.
