With Nook, very responsive.

I find the eInk screen extremely comfortable; the page size is about that 
of a standard small paperback.  Works great in almost all lighting 
conditions, but you do need light (it's not backlit, so it's a no-go in 
the dark, just like with a real book).  Battery life is really good.

I'll have to look up the screen resolution for the two screens on the 
Nook; there's the eInk screen and the little touchscreen.
