I suspect that may also be because the review unit was sent out with content already loaded on it, and the content was highly optimized to show the product in the best light. Remember, there is no official Iliad content that I've heard of in the wild, so everybody is loading up what they have.

My understanding of the Sony, and I don't remember exactly where I read this, is that the Beb file does some pre-rendering, or possible has pagination pre-calculated for pre-set font types and sizes.

The fact that the Sony has a smaller screen may also impact the perception, but I'm not sure.
