How fast? I would place the upper limit of "fast page-turning" at about 200 ms. (For a normal brain to make a interactivity cause-effect association the delay should be no more than 100 ms, though.)
I did not like to wait 20 seconds so I do not use auto shut off. Instant access is nice and much better than the Kindles 4 second wait. The battery lasts 5 days when it is on all the time.

How do you get to an upper limit of 200ms? I tried to press the page turning button as fast as possible 10 times and the page turning speed is around 1.5 seconds. It might be somewhat faster since you cannot press the button before the page has turned so sometimes you miss. But this page turning speed does not disturb the reading experience at all.
