I was going to have a look at a kindle in Tescos just to compare, but they have none out to look at.
the speed difference in page turns so I have been told is minimal and as IvanIV and Bobcar said you don't notice it when you are reading, because your mind should be in the book you are reading.
The Kobo do clear the whole page which may be why it is a bit slower and do go black for a split second, but it is fine.
It does the job, no doubt if I had found the Kindle in a shop by me first I would have got it, but I did not.
