For me, the time taken to find a book in the Gen3's library is "short". You may not perceive it to be; that's fine. Nobody is trying to "mislead" anyone.

Yes, but your statements did not include the information that you consider 50 seconds to be a time that is not worth mentioning and very short. Most people think it is a very long time to spend to switch between books. So I still maintain that you unintentionally is fooling people with statements like look up of words and switching between books only take a few seconds.
