Ok, I will stop being polite and say it directly: No amount of rendering optimizations, screen quality improvements, and hinting will improve the experience if the letters are too small to read. It's not a sum. It's a threshold for each parameter and only then it is a sum.

Rest assured the hinting on Kindle is optimized for monochrome screen, and it probably has a proprietary font as well. Heck, for the first Kindle...
Kindle is irrelevant to this thread. Not only it is running a different OS than the tablets, but it has also got a completely different form factor and use scenarios.
