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.


Sounds like a good opportunity to do other things. Make coffee, take a shower...

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

I keep all documents I read on my device (a Palm OS PDA) live on an SD card. RAM is finite. I don't notice a huge lag as documents are opened.

But internal memory should be a lot faster than a card, so Sony did something really strange, or gave you the wrong information.
