Plucker loads the file in three seconds on a much slower device (PalmTX at 208mhz as opposed to Archos43 at around 800-1000mhz). It sounds like I'm still stuck with the Palm as my primary e-reader. (Well, "stuck" isn't the right word--I really like my TX.)
My (old) reader, the REB1200 is a very capable reader that could easily handle 25-50MB ebooks, with tens of thousands of hyperlinks and/or images. The old devices got it right, albeit with (as of now) non-"state of the art" technology. Imagine if those same devices were re-released now with today's high tech cpus, screens, ram, etc...
