But there's an art to learning to anticipate how many words beforehand to hit that "next Page" button so the reading experience continues without breaks in the continuity that only comes through experience. As we become more familiar with the speed at which page turning occurs after the button is pressed, compensating for any delay becomes second nature. Someone experienced with their e-reader will naturally out-perform someone who has merely been trained in its use for the sake of an experiment, all other things being equal.
