So just FYI, since I mentioned it in my initial post - I went to the store and compared the page turn speed of my Astak Pro to the Sony 5".
The Sony has a slightly different method of displaying the letters on the page it seems - when you turn the page, it will display all the text of the page, but at a VERY slightly thinner thickness, and then a split second later, display the full thickness of the letters. I'm not sure if it was because of the particular book, or font, or whatever - since it's a store display model I can't do controlled comparisons.
The Astak will display the full thickness letters in one action. The Astak was a very fine hair faster than the Sony - but for all practical purposes, it's about the same speed (we're talking milliseconds here probably). Basically the Astak will display everything at exactly the same time as the Sony displaying it's initial slightly thinner letters.
Still like the Astak more for it's 3 different ways to turn pages, and it's many open formats, and user-changeable battery, and search function, and SD slot. MP3 player is a bonus but one I'd likely not use too much.
