This is the case with all books; books directly from Amazon and books side loaded with Calibre.
Sometimes I have to tap twice as well. On both Paperwhites. I assume it's me, taping to cautiously or something like that.
But I haven't experienced anything close to 3 seconds for turning pages. I'd say, it's about 1 second, maybe slightly less. Noticable, a bit more than the blink of an eye.
But 3 seconds seems a lot.

My gut feeling: Opening a book for the first time seems to take a bit longer. After that, it's way less than 5 seconds as well. I'd say 2 seconds tops.
I've got about 700 Amazon books on both Paperwhites. Only text books, I'm reading the comics (Dilbert & Garfield) on the Fire HDs, same for the travel companions.
