Ok, I basically have two questions.

First, how do the various readers out there right now compare in terms of page turn speeds? I'm using a kobo (non wifi) right now, and while I am happy with it the speed definitely leaves something tot be desired. Basically, how much better can I get with a different device, and (separate question) how much of an improvement are the new kobo's?

My impression at the moment is that Kindle is probably the best performing device, and I'd like to know two things specific to Kindle:

First, can anyone directly compare page turns on the Kindle 3 (wifi version is what I would get, but I believe they have the same processor) to those on the original kobo.

Second, aside from DRM can I expect many problems converting between epub and .mobi in Calibre? I know it works, but how messed up does the formatting typically get?
