Loading of books can take a while.
Page turning(once loaded) is fine.
Some strange delays, for example there is about 15second delay going to recently read books screen, which does not make sense.

Design:
The left side page turner is a strange beast, otherwise the buttons feel good and put in right places, the design feels much better than expected.

Next step: installing Jetbook firmware to get dictionaries...
How long is "take a while"? I find that the load times do vary somewhat. As an example I can open a 28 meg .pdf quicker than the 10 meg .prc World Fact Book.

For me, I really like the left side page turner and use it more than the buttons.

As for switching firmware for the dictionaries, I've seen a few posts stating disappointment in it and few words found.

Thanks for sharing your opinion!

Just did some time checks: 7.05 seconds to open Recent Readings; 30.66 seconds for 10 meg .prc file and 15.77 seconds for 28 meg .pdf file
