The slowness is not noticed for normal reading and normally you would not even be able to turn a page of a paper book as fast as the ereader can. I have the Ezreader and it I believe has a slower controller than the pro.

That's beside the point. The slowness on my 500 is something that I got used to with time but this does not change the fact that my much faster 700 is preferable to read on, at least as far as page-turn time is concerned. This device was hyped as having near-instantaneous page turns. The reports that began to trickle in regarding the V5 were one of the reasons that I decided to go with the Sony instead (that and the Bride of Hawking TTS voice and the plastic as opposed to metal housing).
