No, disabling power save won't help you. You are stuck with the speed at which the device can do it, which appears to be slower than your previous models.
My reader is one or another Android device, using a multi-format reader program so I don't have to care what format the book is in. (I prefer ePub, but have other things as well.)
Doing a device reset on my Android devices is not the sort of thing you can do by accident. The menu item that can trigger thatn is tucked away where you have to go looking, and you get a "Are you
sure you want to do a full reset and wipe the device back to factory stock?" question you have to say yes to to make it happen.
If it's that easy to do a reset instead of a restart on a Paperwhite, it indicates questionable UI design.
When I add new volumes to my Android devices, I have to tell the reader software to rescan so it notices them. Volumes are stored on an external microSD card. One annoyance is that on one device, the reader software can forget previously stored indexing, so I'll see things like a blank favorites list which previously had quite a few things defined. That
may be a quirk in the Android implementation on the device, rather than a reader software bug. It's significant that I don't see this issue on a device that doesn't have an external card slot and everything is in device storage. It bites on devices where the volumes are on an external card.
