With the 1.4 firmware update, the Nook is noticeably faster than it was. I've got the same book open on the Nook & Pocket, and they flash at the EXACT same time when I use the buttons.
I tried to compare the nook touchscreen swipe and the Sony button push, but although I can rub my belly and pat my head at the same time - I can't swipe with one hand and press with the other
They both load a "currently reading" book at the same rate. However, the Nook loads a NEW book from the home screen faster than the Sony.
The Sony wakes from sleep faster. Probably because it doesn't have screensaver.
Maybe you were thinking of the Sony Touch? I've only played with a working model at Target, and I think it was slower than the Pocket (although the screen glare bothered me the most).
