Well, I open a large book for the first time once, and I turn a page of that book maybe 1000 times. So it
is a lesser evil for the thing that happens 0.1% as often to be slower.
For me a .6 second page turn feels "tolerable but not great" while a .2 second one feels "quite good". it's very noticeable.
as a person who doesn't notice the difference, you have less need to prioritize a reader's page turning speed when making a decision about what to buy, because for you those differences feel minimal.
But it's not really helpful to go around telling people those differences are minimal, as if that were true for everyone. if the person you're advising is more perceptive than you, you're giving them bad advice.
