Yes, it's rather random. I was getting tired of it, switched wifi off. Then I switched it back on to to buy a book through the shop in the device. This went smoothly enough. Then I pressed "read now" (the only way to get it to download the book *immediately*, it seems), and that went smooth enough too.
And then it stayed at "updating books" for a while, and now it's been "downloading covers" for ever so long, &c. At least *something* is happening, I'll leave it switched on while on the charger. But it doesn't seem related to a lag in the annotations per se.

One weird thing: when I press "read now", I get the status bar for downloading the book, and it downloads fast enough. But then nothing happens, that window stays in place, the book doesn't open. I first have to choose 'cancel' there -- worried of course that this will cancel the download. But it doesn't cancel it, once it's completed. Now I can open the newly bought book.
Weird.
