How fast are page turns for the big Kindle? (Checked amazon.com but didn't find that information.)

  Good question. This is what has stopped me from even considering an ebook so far.

  I haven't seen the big Kindle, but I own the Kindle 2. Page turns are faster on a Kindle than they are with a paper book, although it's not as convenient for flipping ahead a few pages when you're quickly scanning for specific information. You notice page turns no more than you would with a paper book when reading novels, but it could be irritating for reference materials or text books.

    I thought they all had a search feature to make looking for specific info faster. Is that not the case?

      Yes.IIRC even the Kindle 1 had search.

      Yes, but it's a pain to use - the keyboard isn't all that good for typing, and the on-screen response time of any interaction is pretty slow (maybe 0.5s)... still, great device for front-to-back reading.
