This reader is ONLY good for reading a book page to page. It does turn pages fast enough. However, for Bible Study where one must jump to specific bible chapters and passages, it is way to SLOW. I tried and in the Psalms it just couldn't keep up due to 150 chapters in that Book. A rapid search function would have to be added in the firmware to be able to really excel at this function.
In the NIV Bible jumping to footnotes causes a re-format of the internal disk and requires a re-load of one's books. That may be a bug in the NIV Bible, itself, or the firmware.
Even for reading a 24" LCD HD Monitor is far better. I read my books on my PC using eBook Library and MS Reader. I only use the Sony 505 for occasional reading waiting in offices or other away from home uses. I then sync my reader with my PC for the correct pages on both (one must have the font size equal to do this).
One should only store on the Reader what one is currently reading. Space appears to be required for temporary files to prevent even slower processing.
