It took the 700 6 minutes to index it. After that it showed me the list of books 325 total, with the sd marked as such, the internal memory ones unmarked. You could search titles or go by author/title touch letter to jump around depending how you sort your list from the option page - any sorting change is immediate, no waiting.
I loaded a lrf sd book and the first time it took 15s or so, the second time it was like an internal memory book so 1-2 s or so. Same with the pdf's sd, first longer, second same as internal memory.
Moving inside any sd book was the same as inside internal memory, or at least not noticeably slower, while for the books in internal memory there was no difference that I could notice. Search, zoom, options, all the same for sd books as for internal memory
All 676 pictures loaded nicely and you could navigate, zoom, move forward easily. The first open took a little to stabilize, 3-4s or so, though changing orientation was immediate. For b&w the image was not bad, you could see what was about, but of course it's not color.
I do not intend to use a sd card for the foreseeable future but it's good to know that indexing almost 500 MB with 800+ files - pictures+books - was not that bad at 6 minutes.

Would you be willing to load Vorpal Blade from the SD card, making sure that it hasn't been pre-processed by the Sony Library software? If it's down in the 15s range, that's about 2x-3x faster than my PRS-500 -- very good news.
I'm severely disappointed by the time required to index the SD card, though. If it's taking 6 minutes, they're either doing something
very seriously wrong in their programming or there's something to the work required that is extremely non-obvious. I've indexed filesystems much bigger than that in 1% of the time on much
MUCH slower hardware.
