Bookeen's stuff has a lot of other good features like a relatively standards-compliant reading engine, decent build quality, and so forth, but those are things Kobo is also good at.

Meanwhile, the H20 mk2 is larger, and, of course, waterproof, so it has that going for it.
One reason the Muse Essential may feel more responsive is that there is a lot lower resolution. A Reader with a higher resolution will need more oomph to update the screen. The H2O does a fairly good job at that. If you were to have the same resolution, I think the responsiveness would be less with the same processor.
