I can easily turn off the page-turning animation in my preferred reading app (Mantano Premium).

I prefer it to be on, though, to tell the truth. Not because I want to pretend it's a physical book, but because I want to be absolutely certain I actually DID turn the page. Some apps and newer devices are getting so quick with page turns that I can't really see that anything happened. I prefer to know immediately that I fumbled the page-turn tap, instead of wondering why that first paragraph on the "new" page seems so familiar; and instead of instinctively turning another page because I didn't think the first one "took." So I actually find the tiny disruption quite useful.
