Is there anybody who has both a KT and a Sony Reader x50 or Kindle 3 who can compare page turn speeds? I thought speed was to do more with the processor? I honestly think the page turn speed on my 350 is fine, and I similarly haven't heard any complaints from Kindle 3 users. I'm curious to see how the speed of page turns compares to the KT (or NST).

I thought the attraction of partial refreshes for some people was less page flashes for those that find it distracting. I'd think that having a black flash pop up in your face every few pages or so instead of often but consistently would be even more distracting, but I've never minded the flashes that come with full refreshes anyway...
