I'm pretty sure the freezing and slow page-turning problems were with non-Sony books that were loaded by Calibre, probably in ePub or pdf format.

As a result of my observations, once again thus far, I don't believe that re-configuring my PRS 505 would solve any problems.

I've discovered something close to the same.. when I drop books into the folder on 505 vs using the Sony eLibrary. (I don't use a SD card as I only keep about 175 books on my Reader--enough to keep me busy reading for a while and just enough time to acquire more books to add)

If I use the eLibrary the books (epub, lrf/lrx, custom pdf from feedbooks) are prepagnated and work well on page turn speed and font size changing... I've only had one major problem, and that was with a very large pdf file that froze my Reader (a Marco Polo book from PG).
