Another review, another speed remark:

Nook Chases Kindle At Snail's Pace
Barnes & Noble's electronic book reader bears a striking resemblance to Amazon's Kindle, adding some useful features; but it falls achingly short in the critical area of speed
Commentary by Rich Jaroslovsky
(Bloomberg) — The Nook is finally here. It turns out to be much less Kindle-killer than Kindle-clone, and a slow one at that.

Everyone who comments on the speed of the device says it is slow. I've not yet seen one review contradict this. Either they don't comment on it, or if they do they say that it is slow.

But the Nook falls short in one critical area: speed. In just about every important function—opening a book, turning pages, and especially starting up—it lags behind its competitor.

Before Barnes & Noble spends much time on the Nook's future, though, it needs to deal with the present. Early adopters can only hope it moves more quickly than the Nook currently does.
