The PRS300 has a 200MHz processor. The PRS600, PRS900, and Kindle 2 have a 532MHz processor. But as the others mentioned, there is more involved than processor speed. The amount of internal memory and the eBook reading software embedded on the device have a lot to do with how eBooks are displayed. Perhaps the most important factor is how well the eBooks are formatted.

I have a PRS300 and find that some of the Sony DRM ePub books are very slow to open, if they open at all. However, after I deDRM them (strip away the DRM) and tweak them in Calibre they open fine. In these cases the problem is NOT the processor speed, it is the terrible formatting used to create the ePubs for the Sony store.
