Just came back from Bestbuy testing scanned PDF on PRS-950. In summary, the results are very impressive.

I have two scanned PDF books, all around 30MB, 600 pages. Library page can show the first page of scanned PDF on index very quickly once insert the SD card. Fonts in full screen portrait mode are purely black and white, no grey shaded area at all -- just like reading a book. Although it's tiny, it is even more clear than printed paper.

Portrait mode page turn is as fast as text file. But still much slower than turning a real book. In landscape mode, one page turns into 3 pages. Turning within those 3 is fast. But when advances to the next PDF page, there is a noticeable tiny delay comparing to a text file.

Overall, PRS-950 is very impressive and usable in real PDF reading. Compare to PRS-500 I have owned, the improvement is enormous.
