Does anyone have the same problem?Thanks!
What are you converting from? If from ePub, try using kindlegen (and then either run kindlestrip or send via Personal Documents service to remove the source archive that kindlegen tacks on). Calibre can generate ugly CSS, maybe that is part of the problem.

I've opened mobi files that were far larger than that even on my K2 so I don't think size in and of itself is the issue.
