Yes, Kobo is slow when turning the page, but it's still faster than me doing it manually with a physical book. In the end, the difference between 0.5 and 0.2 of a second has little impact on my reading experience.
Actually the speed difference is caused by the device the app is on. On Kobo the e INK screen is a little slower to page change but if you use an app running on a LCD screen the page turn speed would be the same as Kindle on your phone I think. Kindle devices are slower than the phone. At least Kobo on my Literati is faster than page turning on my Astak e Ink device. But as you say, both are fast enough.
