Have to agree I have a 2.5 yr old PRS-300. Have just timed a variety of books, the longest to load from scratch (never been opened before) was a Lrf book, which timed at roughly 45 secs. Epub & Pdf were instant.

On the older PRS-505 and PRS-300 there can be a delay in initially opening a book if it's in LRF format, because the device paginates the book on initial opening, which can take a little while. But that shouldn't happen with an ePub book.
Exactly my experience.
