I find 22 seconds utterly unacceptable. I often read only one or two pages (e.g. in the bathroom, in an elevator, etc.) so my whole reading session might be only half a minute. If I have to spend 22s of that just waiting for the device to wake up I wouldn't use it and under no circumstances would I call it fast.

Umm.. that's what
I think is the longest delay that
I would dream of calling "fast".

It's really easy to measure the speed by making a video:

I find the 133 ms delay of QReader on my E61 to be almost, but not quite, disturbing
my reading experience.

No, it takes about 800ms for me to turn a page on a book. However, when I turn a real page I'm the one doing the page-turning, which means I'm never waiting for anything else. The same goes for other things, too. E.g., when I'm climbing a ladder I'm not bored, but if I'm in an elevator that's as slow as me climbing a ladder I find it extremely slow.

Uh.. The 133 ms page turn of my QReader is very noticeable.
