Page turn times my Kobo Mini is slower than with Kobo Touch because of slower processor. As I remember my Kobo Wifi also with slower processor also had slower page turn speeds than my Kobo Touch. This was really noticeable switching between Kobo Wifi and Kobo Touch. When I was really reading fast on Kobo Touch after exclusive use of Kobo Wifi for 1 week I was anticipating the slow page turns and starting page turn early so with the Kobo Touch page turn was staring before I had finished the sentence.

I timed 10 page turns then divided time by 10 to get more accurate page turn times.
Page turn times for 365 page epub book 2 Years Before the Mast averaged 1.638 seconds.

Page turn times for 234 page epub book Texas Matchmaker averaged 1.37 seconds.
For the 2nd book I might have been a little more aggressive trying to turn pages faster.

I have not timed page turns on my tablet with LCD screen but it should be much faster because it doesn't use slow refresh eink screen and has much better processor. With use of slower readers with slower page turns you will adapt and stop noticing slower page turns and page blanking between turns and find it doesn't really matter. Still faster than turning paper book pages.
