5 seconds to turn a page?
That's definitely longer than what I had on PW1.
PW2 certainly would be an improvement for you.
But I don't think, that's a common improvement.
I'd just say, your PW1 for whatever reason is uncommonly slow.
Easiest tip of course: Hard reset and re-downloading the entire library.
I'm not using side-loaded books on any of my readers anymore.
A few years back, I've stripped every single book from DRM, converted in all target formats imaginable and copied each book to every reader.
At some stage it simply became too time-consuming and annoying.
I'm using only a few readers anyway, so now I'm buying the book on my momentary favorite only.
Meaning: No side-loading, only original purchases on each respective reader.
Just a thought:
Is your reader slower on a mixture of Amazon and calibre-managed books?
In your place, I'd hard reset my PW1 and test with a handful of original books only. If it's faster then, I'd slowly download my library and re-check every 50 books or so.
If it's slow from the start, I don't quite get it.
5 seconds for a page turn definitely seems to long...
