if "original PW" means 1st gen, the current ones are faster, and as fast as the equivalent Kobos
but any e-ink will seem slow if you are used to tablet response times
there was a CPU speed increase at 2nd generation, and later models also have more ppi, more fonts...

before spending any money, consider a factory reset of the current one, in case it has slowed due to software behaviour.

"..Overall speed is about the same between the two. Page turns are the same speed and sometimes the Kobo is a bit faster to open a menu or the dictionary, and sometimes the Kindle is faster. There’s no real advantage either way."
