I didn't answer it because I don't really know a lot about it. There are differences, but other than the support of multiple dictionaries in mobi, I don't think they are important to the casual reader.

You can download any book you want from gutenberg or from here, in the format that is supported by your device, and it will work just fine, pictures or not.

I have heard abbyy finereader is quite good, but it is commercial. You can try googling "ocr freeware" to look for free options.

Yes, my prs-600 is quite fast. With my other two devices, I press the next page button and have time to read a small paragraph before the page changes. With my 600 I have often had to go back a page to read what I had missed when I was still used to the 505 rhythm. Now I only press the button when I'm on the last word.
I'm not sure if there are other devices out there that are as fast.
