The other is performance. The larger the file, the slower the performance as you progress through the file. At the start, it is fine, but as you go through it, the page turning slows down. My test for this was a book with 30 chapters that I merged into on. I think it was 3MB uncompressed. But, it wasn't until I was halfway through this that the performance drop was noticeable. I don't think it would be for a 300KB file. One thing I don't know is how it affects the search. If the large file is being split in memory by the firmware, it might have the problem you started the thread about. I doubt if I ever tested search. Overall, I split the internal files on natural boundaries like chapters. But, if there aren't any chapters, or if one is a bit bigger, it doesn't worry me much. It doesn't break the device and I would prefer not to add artificial divisions. |
