Hmm.. that surprises me that it is that slow on the HD Glo. I wonder if maybe something was wrong with the one you had? I don't have one, so I can't speak to it, but the H20 is definitely not that slow. It seems like people are having difference experiences on the same firmware/same device. While the latest firmware has slowed down page turns on kepubs a little bit for me on my H20, I've adjusted to it and it's not a problem for me personally.

Page turn lag didn't bother me as much as highlighting glitch and hopefully (fingers crossed) Kobo will fix these "features" rather sooner than later.
This forum was really helpful during my first Kobo experience. I just wish that Kobo folks themselves were at least half as useful as you guys.
Thanks.
I'm so glad it was helpful to you. The accuracy is odd, I agree. I'm not holding my breath on a firmware fix for it, but one can hope
