Question Pocketbook Era Color Speed

Hi everyone,
I just bought a Pocketbook Era Color after few weeks of benchmark & reading Reddit reviews.
I use Calibre & KoReader.
My issue is that I find for comics (PDF) the pages are turning super super slow.
The color feature for comics is the reason why I bought the device in color, so that my son can use it in long car trip for example. It takes so long to turn pages (the light is on so i can see it's "thinking"), that he's not interested.
Someone on Reddit mentionned it's good to keep the comics in PDF format as it's more readable than Epub. What would be your advice to make it more efficient, except returning the device? thank you ! (i'm not native so please excuse my english (France).

From your text I assume you are reading the comics in pdf on the device, is that correct?
What app on the device you are using to view the pdfs.
How big are the pdfs (Megybyte/page)?
In case you are using KoReader on the device, did you try the native Pocketbook reader app on the device too? Are there significant differences?
What does

I always read my comics in CBZ - the pages turn really fast, so maybe try that instead.
