Right I reconverted the offending epub and it was 4kb bigger and 5 pages longer but it still took an age to open. I rather feel that the file is corrupt or has a problem.

The book is Why Didn't They Ask Evans by Agatha Christie and is only 140 pages long. One strange thing I did notice is that although it is Georgia font, the start of the book is normal font but somewhere in the middle it changes to italic for the rest of the book.

Your comments on general opening times for other ebook readers seem to be what I find most of the time but I do seem to have a few books which really dawdle.

Thanks to you all for your help and information. I know more about epub construction and ebook reader characteristics now.

Cheers.
