Removing the card returned the action to instantaneous.

Yes, that does seem like a major problem.
Also, when I get my PRS 505 in a few days, I'll PM you so you can send me the books you are using so we can test the speed (if you still want to). I'm planning on getting a Memory Stick card, and I believe I have an SD card lying around here
somewhere....

Certainly enough for a lengthy vacation!

Ahh, but I want to put in basically every book that has even the most remote chance of me reading it, plus a few I surely never will (hey, I may lend the Reader to a friend, and they will have different tastes). Basically, I want to create my Reader library, transfer it to a memory stick and practically never have to transfer anything to it again (maybe a few new releases, bu that would happen like once a year).
I gathered 1.3 GB of ebooks already, and I'm currently in the process of converting thousands of them to LRF (the important ones by hand through Book Designer, the less important ones by converter... but it depends on the format too)
