I don't have much books on my ebook. And I need these books on my ebook, as most are science books. This really sucks.
Why doesn't any review actually point on this problem?
I bought this ebook, for it's good review and especially because it has a touch screen, so that one can easily mark/highlight text passages. Seems like I made a bad choice...
The explanation you give doesn't really make sense to me. For every book has his own annotation file. So why should the reader be impaired by the annotation files of other books? This I really don't get...
If it would just get slower in every new book, I would understand it. But it gets slower in relation to the annotations of every book. This is IMHO strange. Who programmed this piece of crap SW?
It really looks like the Reader has always all annotations of all books in the memory. And upon every change it stores all XML files completely new.
IMHO this is really just lazy programming, and yes, I'm a professional programmer myself. You can do this for a hobby SW, but for an ebook SW, which will be deployed in thousands of units? I really cannot get this.
Just a little more time spent in SW development and this problem could have been solved.
Sorry for being that negative. But I'm currently quite disappointed, that there's no solution to my problem, and it seems that I either have to live with waiting and watching out of the window for 30 seconds several times per page, or buying a new reader.
What other readers are there with touch screen, good display, PDF and EPUB functionality, and a working annotations function? Any suggestions?

I suspect many people on this forum do casual reading: best sellers, light fictions, cooking books, etc. Or some are company representatives...
