Adding a highlight or notes with the on-screen keyboard is usually relatively fast; occasionally there will be a delay of a few seconds. I seldom use the "draw" type of annotation, but when I do have only sometimes noticed a small delay. I do however notice a very lengthy delay whenever I use the "eraser" function in the annotation screen.

Also possibly relevant is that I hardly have any PDFs. Almost everything is in EPUB or RTF. And in total, I only have 44 books on my Reader, and the most heavily highlighted ones are journal article-length, not book-length. Lastly, I do not use the Sony software on my computer. So, maybe one of these many variables is why I've not experienced a lag.
My anecdotal experience concurs with yours.

One difference is that I do use the Sony Software.

I'm starting to think EPUB and RTF formats are more solid than PDF on the Reader.

I have only 300 books on it. No SD card (this is a 350).

All of the books I've annotated are EPUB. I usually open my manuscripts in Atlantis word processor and save them to EPUB, then transfer them to the reader.

I also don't have any DRM'd content on the reader ATM, if that makes a difference.

At one point last week I noticed sluggish response time (not even when reading a book, I was going through Collections at the time). I did a soft reset and it was fine again. At that time, I had about 200 annotations in one EPUB file on the device.


ETA: Just did a quick count, I have about 850 total annotations. Some are hand drawn (circles around errors) but most are highlights.
This is interesting. I wonder if it's an issue of annotations on PDFs... because that seems to be the big difference between our cases.

Well, the different models as well... but I know the 650, 900 and 950 all slow down with lots of annotated PDFs...

I used to have a lot of annotations on the 600. Several hundred, and I never experienced any slow down. I annotated a mix of of PDF and EPUB ebooks.

Saying that, annotating was slow to begin with on the 600 anyway, but nothing like what is being described on this thread. It did not get slower with more annotations.

One point is, I religiously kept all my ebooks on an external SD card. I kept the base memory totally free.

I have a 650 now. I notice no slow-down, but I haven't annotated much.

Incidentally, how do you save annotations to hard-drive?

Rizla, to save your notes, if you use the Sony Reader Library software and open one of the ebooks, there is a little green arrow at the bottom. Clicking that will export the notes to an RTF file.

Thanks for that.

I'm currently annotating furiously using base memory on a 650, so I'll see how that goes. Still lightning fast atm.

Really the best solution is to take heavily annotated books to the Reader Library and store them there for further review...
What also helps is to adjust the type of sorting that is applied to the annotations: by entry date always works best for me (should be the default anyway)...
And maybe just maybe, a complete reformat (save everything to Reader Library before and make sure it is there) might always help to unclutter leftovers ranging from deleted book residues to Calibre files to filesystem metadata and so forth...
