geophyrd, I have a sony 500.
I've had it for about a year. It works flawlessly if I keep less than 200 books in it. I bought a very fast 2 gig sd card hoping i would be able to lug around 3 or 4 thousand books on it but it begins having these issues at about 400 or so. I had to ruthlessly delete books culling them out until I got to about 200. Now I have no problems.
So I just keep the other 3 or 4 hundred books in a file and after i finish a book delete it from my reader. I think maybe the Sony is still in its infancy and as such has a small 'ram' or the equivalent component and can't process over 200 books very well. I bet their next effort will be able to handle thousands of books in memory but so far, patience is the word.
Its really not that big of a deal since I usually am only reading 5 to 10 books at once anyway.
