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.


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.
I have the text size at barely more than minimum and having "show epub page numbers" shows that I have ~2-3 pages per page so it's clearly going to be slower than most things. I think that it's ~6min per page or something.

The NST I was told from CS staff that the rating is based upon the following information.

1 page turn per 2 minutes and thus they had 30hrs total from 30 minutes of that reading per day for 2 months thing.

Edit: Also do kepubs use less power or something on the kobo? Because I don't know why people would be recommending to use that over standard ones.
