Lord no, I
never use PDF.
No, this was a book I bought through CONNECT (it has about 1000 pages in the print version).
Anyway, I finally got through to Sony support. They had me try several things, including a reset with power on, checking other books for speed (which I'd already done and they are fine), and going back to the beginning of this book.
Oddly enough, when going back to the start, it is the normal speed, and only when get back to around page 800 does it slow down. I then moved up to around page 1500, and it was even slower, taking 6-7 seconds. So, I can now see that I'll never get through the thing at this rate.
I then got the idea of connecting, deleting the book, and reinstalling from the Library. The guy waited while I did this, and got the exact same results. So, it seems obvious it is some glitch in the book itself. Anyhoo, he gave me the Connect support number and called them.
They took all the info and said they'd refer it to a techie who would try the book himself, but if he could not find some way to fix it, they'd give me a credit for it
Which is nice, but it is really an excellent book, so probably will have to go buy a pbook version to find out how it comes out.
Or, buy a Kindle.
