The page numbers are not 'all over the screen'. They're small and only one per screen, if that.
I've never really understood why anyone would demand right-hand justification, but if that's a negative for you, I'll let it go.
Haven't noticed that TOC access is slower than access to any other menu option.
The font change in epub is faster than in lrf, because the device doesn't have to reformat the *entire* book to do a font change. That's the advantage of having static page numbers that don't change when you change font size.
I only got my 505 a month ago, so I can't judge whether it's 'worse' or not, but it seems to me to be just fine, and I *always* get my books in epub when they're available that way. It's a far superior format to lrf, IMHO.

Just to respond to your points: (c)
- Sony Reader has a special place for page numbers. At the bottom of the screen. That is where you can find page numbers in books. Definitely not in the middle of of the page. Let alone having two different page numbers, one at the bottom (Sony Reader's page number also very confusing in epub, 44-45 of 658, what is a page 44-45 on the earth? ) and one in the middle of the screen on the left hand side.
- I never suggested right hand justification (unless I were to read in Hebrew
). I was refering to a full justification as in LRF which is a lot more pleasing to my eyes than ragged edges of epub.
- epub of The Count of Monte Cristo from feebooks had very slow TOC access in comparison to LRF version. Maybe if you have a thin book it is not as noticeable, however, I usually read very thick books and if I am not mistaken I have tried freebie epub I downloaded a few months ago, from Harlequin, it had exactly the same problems.
- Sony Reader doesn't have to reformat the *entire* book to do font change in LRF. All the paginating/parsing, or whatever is the proper term for the process, is done by eBook Library. So, effectively, the reader doesn't have to calculate anything at all when reading LRF file delivered to the reader via eBook Library.
