I changed all my MS Reader books to Mobipocket format due to the same problems you had. Some of my books took up to seven minutes to open. In MP they open instantly.
I don't feel that Microsoft's intent was to get people to use MS Reader more, afterall the program is free. I think the intent was to get more people interested in eBooks in general and to sell more books in MS .lit format.
In my case they have succeded very well. I have purchased a lot of .lit books and will continue to do so. I just don't like MS Reader, so I convert them to a format that works better for me.
