Yes, you press the Next Page button before you read the last words on the page.
With my K1, I learned just when to push the Next Page button as I approach the bottom of the page, so that by the time my eyes have absorbed the last words, the page is already refreshing. The timing on my Sony 505 is different and I've noted that the page turn speed varies between .lrf and .epub books. So, when I move from one reader to the other, it takes me a couple of pages to adjust to the turning speed for that book/reader combination.

Yeah, this is the same for me. I'm not a "speed reader" but I read very fast - normally about 2-2.5 pages/min. I hit page turn before I hit the end of the page. I'm still adjusting after having the nook for a few months - not quite there yet (sometimes I have to flip back).
It would help if the nook was 100% consistent - some days it runs a tiny bit slower than others, or it varied between books or something.
