I find that the speed of the page turns with the 505 depends mostly on the type of file being used. The page turns with lrf. files is VERY quick (I don't even notice any sort of lag). I use calibre (you can download it for free on this site) to convert almost all of my files to lrf. With pdfs, I find it really depends on the particular file. Text based files have very quick page turns, while picture or graph heavy files are somewhat slower, but even then not annoyingly slow by any means. It could be that the file you were looking at happened to be a larger file or something, and that that was causing the delay. I am very happy with my PRS 505, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody looking to buy an ereader; I wouldn't trade mine for anything!
