> fastest Kindle Paperwhite ever

Is this something people value in an ereader? As long as its fast enough, idk why speed would be the thing they promote in the sub heading. I read on an ipad mini all the time but I don’t understand this.

It’s weird messaging. Who in amazons product and marketing teams decided that this is the most important thing to mention?

If I'm reading a novel then speed doesn't matter at all. If I'm 'flipping' through a book, looking for something, the page turning and refresh speed matters quite a lot.
