Yes, I have the same problem, but with the PRS900.

The more notes you have, the slower notetaking/highlighting becomes.

I have resorted to not keeping many documents on the device. I read a PDF, annotate it, download it to my laptop through SONY's software (so I can view the annotations on my laptop) and delete it from the device.

That way, I never have more than a couple of PDFs and 100-200 notes on the device, and the speed is decent.

Otherwise, it becomes completely unmanageable.

Another alternative I have used is to store the annotated PDFs on an SD card, instead of using my PC. But then you have to take the card out of the reader to 'regain speed'. And when you put it back in it takes hours to re-sync. So I prefer the PC solution.

Note that, if you use SONY's software, you can always move the annotated document back to the PRS.
