Page turning on the V3 just isn't an issue - it really is quite acceptably quick. OI feels quicker than the older Hanlin firmware I'd previously been using, but even that was certainly acceptable.

I think page turning is somewhat noticeable for the first few pages when you start using the Hanlin; after that, you come to expect it, and use it a cue that the page has changed. Instantaneous changes on my Nokia 770 often have me checking to see if the page has actually changed.

The Hanlin V3 has a lot of good points - not a stunning looker, but reasonably solid hardware, firmware well supported by the manufacturer and multiple vendors, and the first target device for OpenInkPot, which works well on the device.

This was a big deal for me, as I'm not interested in reading books that have DRM, and I need Plucker support.
