First, it is clear that the Kindle is visibly faster. It's not debatable.

What's interesting -- at least in my case having used the nook -- is that it felt fast enough on its own with no point of reference. The page turns quickly and you read on. It didn't feel slow or out of place.

So it comes down to what an individual user finds acceptable. Having not ever seen a Kindle in person I had no "norm" for what a page turn expectation is. Another question: how fast does an e-reader need to turn a page? Heck, even the nook turns pages faster than I do in real life. Is anything less than instant a failure?

Thanks for sharing.
