Very large digital book. 975 pages. It's huge. I can totally use it as is on the Reader though. Font wise its ok. But the file size is literally 9.5MB, so it makes the Reader go really slow. Like opening it would give me time to walk to New Jersey and come back. That slow.
So I thought maybe converting that to LTF as well might help and make it smaller. Wow was I wrong. That winds up being 32MB after converting it. It is almost 4 times as big now.
Does anyone have any suggestions on making the file size more manageable so I can move around in this book a little faster?

Not sure I understand what the book is or where you got it. Was if from Sony, or did you convert it from another source?
I started a thread at ttp://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16748
about two books with I which had dramatic slowdown in page-turning time as I progressed in the book. I'm not sure this is the same thing as you are experiencing, but if so, you will note there that one of the books I had was not long at all, and the other was much larger than the one you list.
My conclusion is that it is some glitch in the digitizing of the books by the publisher that now and then causes this problem, as others have experienced it also. Do any of the other books you have do this? If not, it must be the book itself.
If I have misinterpreted your problem, I apologize , but it sounds like the one I and others have had. I really don't think it has anything to do with the size of the book. OTOH, even with these books, I had no trouble starting the Reader, just slowdown in page turns.
