OK, the CBZ stuff doesn't apply, but the rest does. The faster you read a page, the more page turns, the faster the battery is drained.

and they also seem to _not_ use the orientation of the images themselves. It seems tot take whatever the dimensions of the cover(aka first image) and rotate it to fit the screen best.
Yes, I believe this is correct. I tend to agree it isn't good, but I could see that others would complain they have to keep rotating the device a the image changed dimensions.

Also this thing changes pages _slower_ than my NST so I'd hardly call it a "fast" ereader the lag in the UI is similar or worse than the NST I had previously. it had a 800mhz cpu and I think 256MiB of ram and was running android 2 with the entire UI/reading app etc was all done via java.
I don't think I have ever seen any claims that the Kobo devices are fast. I'll agree that it isn't fast, but I don't have any real problem with it.
