I did a test this morning by formatting the WSJ feed (which took 16 minutes versus 21 minutes the previous day to download) on my PC (by clicking "view" in libprs500) before putting on my PRS-505. No good news. It still took the PRS-505 a long time to "formatting" the articles before I could read from them. 3.50 minutes actually. So, I'm forecasting a 24 minute time to download the feed, 5 minutes to wait for the reader to format them, and another 59 hours to actually read the articles.

Haven't tried the SD card though. I'm surprised the SD is faster than the internal memory, seems reverse to me.
