I don't find it a problem at all, personally. When I want to start reading I pick up the Gen3 and press the power button as I do so. By the time I've walked over to my chair, sat down, and made myself comfortable, it's ready and waiting for me. 20 seconds is really not a very long time. But you have the choice of whether or not to use it - that's the nice thing about the Gen3.

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.)
When you read a paper book, can you really turn the page in 1/5th sec? The page turn on the Gen3 is fact enough to be totally unnoticeable.
