Hmm. I hadn't thought about it that way. It may be a factor, but I wouldn't expect it to be perceivable, let alone noticable.

I don't know exactly how much pre-rendering the Sony will with the BBeB, I think it's probably more that the Reader's software/OS is particularly quick when it's handling the BBeB format. They are close kin, after all.

You're welcome, glad to help. Pop over to the Sony forum and browse there, if you like, there're some other things that folks seem to have misconceptions about on the Sony Reader.
