Page turns on the Kindle app slide the page in the turned direction. Not a bad experience. Page turns on the Google Play (when reading ebooks) gives a nice page furl slide animation. Really nice, slick and not overdone. This reader is my favourite but the books you get on Google seem to differ to Amazon. More novels, less technical books I think. I could be wrong. Google also seems cheaper a little. Page turns on Safari Online app. Atrocious. When reading online it downloads the page (what no preloading?) and takes a second or two. Annoying. If you download the book and read it in offline mode, I found that turning pages will turn two pages at a time and it does it too fast. You dont know if you changed one page or more. Not happy with this app, which is a shame because of the number of books I can read on Safari Online. Wish they would fix this. (have reported to them as a bug).
PDF reading is also nice in the built in Adobe (I think I might have installed their app). has continuous mode (vertical scrolling. no thanks) or single page, similar animated slide like Kindle. Still prefer Google Play reader. I'm sure there are others. soooo many others. Thats a plus, you have choice. (mind numbingly confusing to despair choice.)
