At the dawn of time there were readers like the Sony PRS-505 which would "paginate" a book when it was first opened, and the time taken to do that was dependent on the size of the book, but I don't know of any current reader which does anything similar.
Do you have any evidence to support your assertion that large books take longer to open?

Still true for the JetBook Mini -- a very small part of the market, but still available and I suspect most of the ones that were sold are still operational.
My JetBook Lite has few problems with Omnibuses (Omnibi?) -- as long as they're well made. I have had a couple that caused problems, but running them through Calibre with the add-on to split them worked just fine.
For the ones that worked, I prefer the Omnibus edition, since then the ereader keeps track of what book and page I'm on.
