Honestly, I think his claim is reasonable. All vizplex panels have the same speed, and software can make big difference. There is an e-reader called starebook and it has a very slow 200mhz cpu and an older generation of vizplex panel which has darker background, but it's page turning speed is about twice as fast as the Kobo wifi e-reader (probably because of page caching, bitmap fonts, and its own proprietary format).
Also Kobo is slower than competing e-readers that have similar hardware specification and software requirements (adobe EPUB).
It seems to me that there are a lot of rooms for improvement in the kobo firmware though I like my kobo wifi.
