I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear. I meant: "I find 22 seconds totally unacceptable, so I would definitely have to have it switched on all the time."

Should I interpret that as: "it takes almost 2 seconds for it to do something before it starts to redraw the page, and the page-redrawing takes way less than 200 ms"?
If it takes so much processing before the page is turned then I wonder why it doesn't do all this processing immediately after turning the previous page. Then it would be ready to just redraw the page when the user presses the next-button.
Also, if nothing happens for 500 ms after pressing the button then you really don't know if it registered the press or not. I've seen this many times in the various Reader and Iliad videos on the net. The user presses the next-button, then waits for a few seconds before realizing it isn't doing anything and then presses the button again. Or presses the button, waiting for half a second, then probably thinking that it didn't register the press and pressing again just when it starts to do the eink page-flip-dance. An obvious solution to this is to make the button make a sound immediately when the press is registered, but then that would be somewhat annoying (especially to other people in the room).
