Azni,
Your level of enthusiasm reminds me of the first day I received my PR material ... your goal or outcome regarding the use of PR will carry that enthusiasm into the future!
The book, home study of even attending a live seminar are the way to go ... think of this forum as a compliment to the above three methods.
Regarding page turning, I personally find 2 seconds to work best for me ... do what works best for you and above all, feels natural and comfortable.
Welcome!
