I greatly prefer a Kobo over the Kindle Paperwhite. I returned my PW.

The Kobo Aura HD is the best, but if you want something more portable, a Glo, Aura, or Mini are all good.

No slow page turns on any of mine, and I use Calibre to manage mine. It is a positive, not a negative. There are so many more things you can do with the Kobo+ Calibre then you can do with a Paperwhite, with or without Calibre. I would never go back to a reader that couldn't be managed with Calibre.

Good luck on your decision.
