Aura One page turns

If you long press on a book, (either in the home screen, or in the Library list), and from the pop up menu, select "Vew Details". then press the tab in the middle that says "Details"... there should be a line that reads "File Format:". And the if the extended plugin is working, that File format will say "Kobo Epub"

Yes, my format is Kepub - that's why I'm using the kobotouch extended – to convert epubs to Kepub on the fly. As rashkae says, kepub page turns are so much faster than the epub ones, even if they are not as fast as I'd like.

I should have been clearer in the initial post of what I was using and doing. I'll remember that in the future.

With the latest 4.5 firmware, kepub are not much faster at page turns. That used to be true, but no longer.

You keep repeating that, it's just not true.

kepub is slightly faster than ePub. But, I have more text on an ePub page, so it kind of evens out.

How long have you been reading on eink readers? I bet not very long.

I think once you get used to it, you will subconsciously learn to flip the page slightly before you have read to the end (except that IIRC on Kobo the page lfip time might have slightly higher variance that other readers I have used) and won't notice the delay any more.

So true. I'm far from a speed reader now days but when I bought new Kobo Touch after months using Kobo Wifi I was turning page before I had finished reading the page.

I keep trying off and on (for years on various ereaders, for various reasons) - I will try to see if flipping the page before finishing reading it will work for me. I switched from my android tablet because Verizon was charging me data to send from Calibre on my pc to Calibre Companion on my tablet (I know that's not supposed to happen, but they were doing it anyway). Also, I do like to read outside when camping and Android certainly doesn't do that! Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll give it a try.

What's Android got to do with not being able to read outside? You can get eInk Readers that are running Android. So it's not Android. It's LCD screens that make it hard to read in sunlight.

Yes, you are correct.

Welp, I was wrong about this.

I have found the first book that causes super long page turns for me on a Kobo Aura One (George RR Martin's Nightflyers from Tor). This is a sideloaded epub. I haven't looked inside in detail, but it seems to have each story in it's own file. It doesn't use any crazy formatting.

I've deleted almost all the other books on my device in case some background task was slowing things down. Of the remaining books, they seem to be the same speed as before (ie: slowish but mostly acceptable).

I've played with settings for how often the screen refreshes; turned wifi on/off and so on without seeing any effect.

I just read using Koreader to avoid this altogether.
