Which oddly is what the PW2 does, it just stops. Keep tapping and it just quits responding after a few taps and no longer advances the pages at all. I thought that like the Kobo it might just stop rendering the text and after awhile it will catch up and it'll pop to another page where it should, but it never did that either. There is another way on the PW2 that brings up a smaller page where you can advance quicker, and there it does render the pages, but at a slower pace.
So I really have no problem with the Kobo readers just having blank pages but letting you keep advancing the pages.
Now compare that to the many-years-older Sony PRS-350 and they both fail miserably. You can keep your finger held in the swipe position and it will keep advancing and rendering each page fully and perfectly, and faster than the PW2 does with the special option pulled up to advance pages.

Hmm, yeah, I was comparing it to a Nook ST, a Sony 650 and a T2. They are all able to render page after page flipped very quickly. The Kobo clears the page eavh time (not flash) so I can see it might not flip. As you state, it seems it's also the case for the PW2. I was just surprised. I expected a newer e-reader to outperform an older e-reader.
I'm not sure what you mean by the 350 failing miserably. If it is the same as the 650, then it flips the pages lightning fast. Perhaps we have our wires crossed.
