I didn't dig up the old thread, but I seem to recall Astak's Robertb saying that he was clicking through pages on his pre-release model as quickly as possible, and reporting the number of page turns in a specified period.
Go ahead and dig the oldest posts by RobertB with "Epson" string.

RobertB really *was* touting the new Epson controller as having "instantaneous page turns" for quite a long time. I want to believe that by that time he was simply repeating something that was said by a factory representative and translated from Chinese by somebody that did not understand context. Once he got the first prototype of PocketPro into his hand, he changed his script.

I think that the current speed is not a problem. I am satisfied with the speed of my PRS-500 and judging from various video reviews PocketPro is indeed somewhat faster. It is still faster turning page in a paper book. JET ... I personally would not dare to call it instantaneous.
