I meant the other 2 newer readers both fail miserably when compared to the old reliable 350 when it comes to speed-flipping through pages. The 350, like the 650 and I'm sure the 950, flips the pages lightning fast as you said, and still rendering each and every page fully while doing it.
I don't get why Sony could do it in 2010 but it can't be done in 2015.
I'd probably like all ereaders much better if I never had a PRS model to compare them to.

Why is the page turn taking longer if you pause (i.e. to read the page)? It feels like the device goes to sleep for a little bit, and has to wake up after the next screen tap.
This is happening on an epub with caecilia at about 75% weight. I presume this is not happening with 3.15 on non-Glo HD's. It's very noticeable. Are other Glo HD users getting it?

It does happen on my normal Glo with 3.15.0 installed and of course on the Glo HD with 3.15.0, but it does not happen to the normal Glo that still has 3.12.1 installed. So I really think it's more firmware related and hopefully they can fix it.

Have to mention this, in case I changed my opinion when I wake up. It's 2:00AM here  |
The left one is the Kobo Glo HD, the right is a PW2. While the Voyage might have a better screen than the PW2, it still will not render fonts any thicker, so I think the thinnest ones at the top will still not look as good as on the Glo HD, but someone will have to do the test with a Glo HD and a Voyage.
But the bottom line is: Kobo does it without having to embed special fonts in every single book, and looks at least as well as any Kindle screen will and better than some.
