Not an export on this but I heard what blocked a lot of projects based on kindles was the proprietary waveform driver stuff to draw on the displays. Meaning that basic linux had supper inefficient redraw behavior compared to what the eBooks are doing.

What’s the situation here?

No idea. We're not using the Kindle displays so we aren't affected by any proprietary waveforms.
