Today, as an experiment, I uploaded an epub file for Kindle conversion that was a single block. It converted perfectly. (I can tell no difference between the epub conversion and the html file I uploaded a few hours earlier, when each is viewed on the Kindle Previewer software.)

I understand that there are some e-book readers that choke on large files. What readers are those, and how large a file? This one for example is 137KB. (The html file shows as 415KB.) Surely that's not a problem anywhere?

(It would really save me time and effort only to have the one version of the book!)

Thanks!

Slower loading, slower reflow. Slower usually means more reader CPU time which means more battery power usage
