When the Kobo Touch was released it had a different type of page turn where a full page refresh was done only about every sixth page. That sixth page turn appears to be the same as used on the Sony PRS-350 (pocket edition) for every page turn. I do not have the Sony e-reader but I observed this on a review of the Pocket Edition on the CNET website.

This afternoon a new version of the firmware was released for the Kobo Touch with an adjustable setting for page refreshes. If you set the 'full page refresh' setting to 1 page you should see a page turn that is similar to that on the Sony Pocket edition.
