Okay, it took 28 minutes to convert one 348k LIT file to a 701k PDF. Just now trying to convert the same file to EPUB... we'll see how long that takes.

Did another flash using v5-20100716. Seems to be okay, much better at page turns (at least at this point) 2-3 seconds rather than 6-10.

Still has LIT issues. Takes about 20-30 seconds to load.(when it loads, sometimes it just hangs). When the file opens it shows 1/2 pages. If I wait a little bit and then page forward, it will load some random number of pages and I will see 2/12 then 3/146 and then most of the time it wont load further, when I know there are 453 pages. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I can go to a couple of pages before the 'end' and it will just sit there and tell me there are no more pages. This, I am certain is an EZreader joke of some kind.

As of right now, my file conversion in calibre is at 9 minutes for a LIT to EPUB.

I have a couple hundred LIT files. Maybe a bit more, but, you can see where trying to convert these might take a long while. I am using my Linux box in this particular case. Maybe it would be better if I tried it on Windows.

I have not tried to reformat the card and it's possible to reformat the PP? How does one do this?

Oh, and the script I saw for clearing that silly cache and all : Does one load that on the card like a book?

(now @ 13 min for conversion. gah.)

Thanks for your replies, Blossom.
