Devices with large screen will need more computing power because they are representing more pixels on a screen. So,it's not fair to compare a 6' device with a 10'.
Different e-book formats require different computing power. So, it's not fair to compare a e-book format which is capable of representing compilcate layout to simple txt file.
Finally, if the reader software preload next page in the background, users will feel page-turn much faster. Based on my experience with iLiad, the speed of page-turn can be 5 secs (without preloading) or 2 secs (with preloading). That means, fast page-turning is only the best case, not average case.
