for me it is the opposite. i like to pay more for the physical book because i don't want a delay of over 1s while flipping pages.

- solistice 11y agoi'd second that and add that having a physical book also makes annotating things a lot easier, at least than with my kobo. If I'm going to spend any significant time with a book, i prefer it being a physical copy.
- fsloth 11y agoThat sounds like you've chosen poor hardware. I've not had this problem in five years (with the three different devices I use for ebooks, one being an e-ink reader)
- gcb0 11y agoso you seems to have a magical eink reader. most eink take 0.5s to clear and 0.5s to draw a full screen in most usable resolutions.
- kbutler 11y agoIt's not really fast, but it's not a second, either. Just ran a quick test on a kindle paperwhite, repeatedly paging after I saw the page refreshed. 20 pages in under 14 seconds, and there was definitely lag time between the page being refreshed and my finger tapping again. That said, the page turn lag bugs me, too. It's better on tablets/phone.
- dmd 11y agoIf your kindle takes more than about 200 ms to page turn, return it - you have a broken one. (Unless maybe you're talking about one from 5 years or more ago?)
