I've found, on the 505 at least, that I push the page turn button when I finish the page and by the time my eyes have focused on the top of the page, the turn is completed. It's certainly not the push-the-button-and-get-a-cup-of-coffee that some of the commenters are making it out to be.

Compare this with reading a variety of paper books, and I'll bet that you'll find it comparable to most paperbacks books and much faster than a large hardcover which, if you're reading them in bed, you'll have to lift the book off of your chest, turn the page, and then set the book back down again.
