Page flipping on the kindle is very fast (at least tolerable now) whereas I agree with you that in regards to PDFs and the Sony PRS500 it was not. In general the Kindle is much more perky than the PRS500.

But keep in mind that all PDFs either have to be converted to Kindle format by Amazon.com or by a conversion utility.

The one thing I do miss is the Sony Reader's ability to skip 10 pages at a time. I haven't found that function in the Kindle. Anybody know if there is a trick I don't know about?
