I agree that the performance is not an even one but overall I quite enjoy the PRS-505 epub implementation.
The difference in speed is a due to the size of the splits. As you may know, ePub consists not of one big chunk of text, but of different splits. If those are bigger, the rendering engine is slower. I am a bit worried about this concerning the Cybook as the Cybook hardware is weaker than the Sony's.
