First try at each of those apps:
Kindle: Very slow at initial start-up and setup. Once I had it set up, I went out of it, and then went back in. Takes 13 seconds from when I tap the app icon to when I can actually select a book. After that, the book takes about three seconds to load. Once the book is loaded, page turns happen after maybe a half second of hesitation. Once in a while, the response is almost instantaneous. Bookerly looks nice on the T63.
Play Store: The quickest at initial setup. Loads in about the same time as Kindle after that. Physical buttons work to turn pages. (This is the only app out of these three for which that's true.) Page turns happen with a minimum of hesitation. Contrast is good.
Nook: Fairly quick at setup. Loading is the quickest of the three; about seven seconds. Contrast is good. However, page turns are the slowest of the three apps. You can either have the page turn animation, or see a page slide slowly from right to left, and then the new page appear. The least satisfying of the three because of the page turn pokiness.
Compared with Moon Reader, Kindle is a little slower at startup. The others are about the same in startup time. Page turns in Moon Reader are a little quicker than in Kindle; smoother than Nook; about the same as Play Books. Still, my first impression is that, out of these three, I'd rank them Kindle, Play Books, Nook. All three have pages that look fine on the T63. But the Nook's page turns look the least polished of the three.
Time to work more on supper. Feel free to ask more questions later.
