Hmmm. I'm not sure that this is so. I think that the screen response time limits scrolling speed. Have you tried it?

FWIW, I have a Boox Poke 5. (I do like small devices.) The UI isn't quite as good as Kobo's, but it's not at all bad. (It's still vastly better than Kindle's.) Getting back into your current book is a single touch. The Library screen, on which it opens, can be set to a list of your most recent books - very much like My Books/Books on a Kobo. (Alternatively, it can be set to open at its equivalent of My Books/Collections.) The only thing about Boox that I actually dislike is that its author sorting is by forename rather than surname.

If you can, it'd be worth trying out a Boox. You might find that you like it. Of course, they're significantly more expensive than their Kobo equivalents. (Well, they are here in the UK.)
