"Teacher-hater"? I do not understand. My teachers were there to help me teach myself. They provided me with guidance, and they gave direction to my self-studies. In most cases they appreciated that I finished reading the provided materials in the first two weeks of class and they provided additional reading materials and advanced studies. In the rare case that a teacher did not let me advance ahead of the rest of the class, I had a difficult time with boredom and daydreaming (I had already read the book that the teacher was describing day after day), but I did not hate the teacher just because they did not understand me.
Thankfully, most teachers took the effort to teach me at my own pace (and often gave me extra work and extra priveledges such as a key to the science tool and supply storeroom so I could do my own experiments). I loved working with those teachers best. I did not understand until much later in life that some children did not have these learning opportunities available to them, and I feel sorry for that.
I try to help people young and old learn the things that I know and love whenever I can (despite my occasional attitude that some who do not understand me think of as arrogance, and I am sorry for that misunderstanding).
Anyway, back on topic, an ebook that has a large file size on the kindle USB drive is more likely to have "not enough memory" when trying to render pages to the display, than an ebook that has a smaller file size. That is all I was trying to say, when I was so rudely interrupted by the "experts".
