For novel reading it only comes into play if I can't remember who someone is etc. In a paper book it's very quick to flip back a few pages, on my Kindle I don't bother.
But mainly where I'd like to see things sped up is things like looking up a word in the dictionary, getting back to the home screen, opening books etc. The current Kindles are painfully slow to do anything like that. I often don't look up words as it just takes to long to click the line, hit look up, have it pop up, then hit back to go back to the text.

The Kindle 1 is slow at doing those thingsj the current Kindles are not. The dictionary look up and annotation on my DX are near instantaneous. My Sony Touch is just as fast and it also has the option of flipping through pages quickly. I have found it very useful when it comes to marking up documents with both text and drawn figures. Eink readers have advanced a bit since 2007.
