MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - YouTube: VERY short comparison - Paperwhite 3 and Kobo Glo HD

This was my experience with the Glo HD. Very slow page turns. It's a software issue because if I turned pages more frequently (i.e. faster than I could read) then the page turns would speed up. But if I read a page, then turned, I could literally check my watch while I waited.

Some users have reported that they have not experienced said behavior and that I had a lemon. I can only comment on my own experience with confidence. That was under 3.14 and 3.15. 3.16 is out. I don't if it's improved.

Saying that, it is possible install Cool Reader or Koreader on the Kobo and circumvent the base software entirely.
