How long this takes really depends on the size of the book. I think newer firmware is faster. But, I have to say it doesn't worry me. As a percent of the time I actually spend reading a book, it is nothing.

There was a black information bar across the bottom of the screen. Can this be siwtched off?

Yes you can. From memory, the option is on the "Sleep, Power and Light" page of the settings. But, it has been completely removed in later firmware. Quite a few people want it back.

One other thing that I wanted to test but couldn't: can the Glo handle multi-level toc.ncx files or do they have to be flattened?

Yes and no. It has no problem with them, but they are flattened when displayed.
