I suspect that the problem is the use of PDF and SD card slowing down your reader. I had the same problem with my 600, so I quit using an SD card, and that did help. I hope the new readers will have more memory so I don't need the SD card. The problem is that the Sony reader software is not up to par (like the kindle) for note, highlights, etc. In some ways, the Kindle is better as your notes and highlights are saved online and you can access them via: http://kindle.amazon.com/
However, I don't like the Kindle, nor do I like the fact that I cannot read library books on one. If they would go with epub, I would buy one again.
I have read somewhere that when the ADE software update comes through, we will have an option similar to the kindle online notes where you can share them with others, like classmates, etc. I assume that sony will do likewise with their software?????
No perfect world for folks like us, I guess. Maybe some day.
