Does that mean they flip pages at the same speed they just load the initial book at different speeds? Do they "feel" the same as far as software responsiveness (I noticed all eInk readers tend to feel slow, but some more so than others)?
I kind of like the idea of the bigger screen, and I may be able to get a 6" for less than the $299 retail so I'm curious.
Thx,

I have both devices. Screen refresh is only part of what happens on a page turn, so the specification could be misleading. The page also needs to be rendered before the screen is refreshed, so processor speed does matter. Software design also seems to make a difference because different firmware packages do seem to feel different. For me, the 5" is definitely brisker. Either one is quite usable for me though.
