Calibre is not the fastest converter around, but the times you are getting are ridiculous, so something must be off in your Calibre setup?

You do not mention which reader you are using on the PocketPRO, but the CoolReader page turns are MUCH closer to 1 second than 2-3 seconds on my PocketPRO.

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.

I do not expect that any company is going to waste much more money on reader software for a seemingly dying format like LIT, so it probably makes more sense for users to convert LIT to a format that has more mainstream support?

I prefer the SDFormater tool from sdcard.org, but you can format the PocketPRO internal book storage memory with any disk formatting tool when the PocketPRO is USB connected to your computer.

YUP

From what I have recently read, Buggins has automated the cache clearing process in the next version of CoolReader, but he has not released that yet.
