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.

I notice the delay on my Sony 505 (and I assume I read fairly normally). The original poster seems to noticed the delay also (and he seemed to be describing normal reading usage).

I recently saw a video of the SONY 600 scrolling/zooming a PDF, and I was very impressed with the speed (considering all the comments I've read about how slow eink is).
