If you use a device like Ebk1150 you get spoiled for functionality. You have to do a bit of upfront work to convert to imp (presuming you do not have the file directly) but with the Librarian that is fast and you put all the metadata easily, but then everything is fast, opening, sorting, navigation, text search, moving between books, bookmarking, hyperlinks if any.
Sony is so clunky, the direct page hack helps somewhat but still I avoid using it unless I read a book end to end. Many times I switch between 5-6 books before deciding what to read, or maybe I read 3 pages from book 1, move to book 2, then 3, then I remember I want to read a little from book 4, maybe the next story in book 5, and you simply cannot do that with the Sony. With the 770 it's relatively easy because of the recent booklist feature so you move easily between the last 100 books or so, but with Ebk1150 it's even easier...
