Actually, for ebooks even the KK3 isn't too slow, it's just too low resolution. The PW3 and Kobo Aura HD H2O original are both fast enough with KF8 and epub, respectively.
For larger PDFs you need more than 7" eink. That's why larger eink often has 4 core or 8 core (Android models) and faster CPU and often worse battery life even with larger batteries.
The Libra battery life is excellent.

And you totally miss my point. Kobo is selling us an outdated chip. I didn't even mention reading pdf or manga.
The Libra definitely needs improvement when you need to do anything else than turning a page (even then, it misses when I press the button once in a while), calling the menu to go back to the books, navigate the books, use the keyboard, highlight something....
It's bad compared to my Paperwhite and even worse if I compare to the Oasis.
