To be sure that this wasn't a problem with the formatting being done on the reader, I deleted the book and re-transferred it from the eBook Library and saw the same behavior (this time 61 seconds to open). Anyway 54 seconds is still a long time to open a book and 1min 20secs is still a long time to change the font size. Anyway, this isn't a big issue for me anymore. The largest books that I have in the pipe are the new Einstein biography and Crime and Punishment which are both about 1500 pages with small font size. These both only take about 5-7 seconds to open which seems reasonable enough to me. I'm be curious to hear what load times others with large books are seeing on the 505. Maybe there is something funny with my particular reader. |

Anyway, 1min 20secs to change font size - first time. Let's say from small to medium. Then you pressed zoom button again and it took anout 1.5 min to change font size from medium to large. Then you pressed zoom button again and got back to small. If you want to go back to medium now, does it take 1min 20secs again? Also, after initial 60 seconds to open the book, does it take 60 seconds every time to open it? If yes, then I believe you have a faulty reader. Or faulty lrf files... |

I wonder whether anyone can suggest a book from upload section of our forum of similar length (to War and Peace) for cmacnaug to download and test on his reader?

My "Sherlock Holmes" omnibus is probably of a similar length.

Thanks Harry_T.
cmacnaug If I were you, I would download the omnibus mentioned above and see how well it works on your reader. |

What I've found is that it's best not to put all of your books on at once, do like half, let the Reader process those, and then add the rest. If you are using rsync, I use "rsync -r -v -v -L -P --stats --size-only --whole-file" Anyway, Sony if you are reading this, fix the large book collection problem! |

Is there any further news on the release of an update for the 505? I wonder if Sony are really going to add ePub support or not.
