I got a 6" EZ Reader a while back because it was on a big sale, but ended up taking it back due to being slow (to me) on changing pages. I was using it to read PDF files (non-technical). Consequently, the e-ink screen flash seemed to annoy more than when I've played with a kindle, I think because I was already annoyed at waiting for the page change.

I've since discovered the wonder of Calibre for managing and converting books, and I'm wondering if the EZ Reader has a significantly different page turning speed when viewing epubs vs pdfs (Or any other format it supports)?

IE, are PDF files the worst-case scenario, best-case, or somewhere in the middle?
