   Linux Recommendation

   I have a Toshiba WT 310, i5 3439Y @ 1.5 GHz 4 GB RAM. 11.5" touch screen.   
      
   It runs (actually walks slowly) Windows 8.1 and has always proved too slow   
   to do anything useful.   
      
   I have tried to set it up as a book reader but it's really too slow for   
   that.   
      
   Accepting I can't do anything about the spec is there a Linux distro that   
   would make use of the touch screen and run Calibre (or similar) at a   
   usable speed? At least I could make use of it then as a book reader.   
      
   I do run Linux on one machine but its use is limited to creating iso files   
   with Brasero.   
      
   Many thanks.
