Slow page-turning
While reading Anna Karenina (don't remember where I got it), I had very slow page-turning; about half a minute per page. I thought it was because it was a big book ; rebooted....still slow; rebooted....got stuck.
Finally, in the middle of the night, I deleted the book from my Kindle----uploaded the same book through the Feedbooks catalogue in a second, and .....taraaa..... slow page-turning fixed. Last edited by desertblues; 11-14-2010 at 05:10 AM. |

What formats was this book before and now - mobi, prc, txt or pdf. If it was pdf with some background images (i.e. not formatted for Kindle) - it is true - very slow page turning. Prefer mobi/prc and wait some time for indexing after uploading new books to the Kindle's documents folder. I disconnect Kindle and wait 15 minutes without unplugging the device from a USB port when I upload amount of books.

I converted that book from epub to mobi, for my iLiad, some years ago.
Yes, the Kindle has problems with some of the PDF's, so I just read them all on my iPad. But for some reason, this mobi really got stuck in my Kindle. I was glad to have another opportunity to download the book from Feedbooks; excellent service; have all three catalogues Mobile Read/ Feedbooks and Magic Catalogue. |

Interestingly, yesterday I downloaded a .prc from the mobileread collection here and tried to read it on Kindle for Mac. K4Mac crashed! But I was able to read it with the mac Kindle Previewer (and I assume my Kindle would be okay too). But it suggests that not all mobi formats are created equal... |

You might try downloading to your computer and using K4PC or whatever to see if it can open it. |
