Not really any difference in loading. The only significant difference is that the PRS505 can 'open'/'startup' in the ebook you were last reading, while the Cybook does not have a 'blanked-screen' sleep mode that does so. If it's off, it's off and you must re-select the ebook from the Library when you turn it back on and it finishes it's boot process. On the one hand, it's a pain because the Cybook takes between 15 and 20 seconds for a start-up. On the other hand, if you leave the Cybook on and in the ebook of your choice, the power drain is negligible so you don't have to wait even for a 'resume from sleep' time.
As for the pagination... Well, I'm using a PRS500 against the Cybook so I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be seeing...
