With the 505, after a short while you don't notice the delay when turning a page (and it's normally more like 0.5 of a sec). It's less of an interruption than turning a normal page is too... It can slow up if the books got some odd formatting or embedded fonts, but I don't actually recall noticing that happening for a very long time now (when I was playing with embedding my own fonts) and not in normal use.
HAving said that, I'd not actually rule out a Sony Pocket too quickly though - if I recall correctly there are a few people round here that have moved to it from a 505 & are happy with it but I can't recall off-hand how it's turn speed compares with the 505 - I understand the Touch is noticeably faster, but I think the Pocket's equivalent to the 505.
Not sure what the Euro price is at the moment, but the Pocket's down to £149 at the moment (I've got a price-comparison page for it on my site in the .sig!) which, last time I looked, was a lot less than the CyBook.
