That was really helpful.
How much slower is the page turn with FBReader? I think I'd get tired of it over time if it was over 3 sec.
I think I'm going to buy an iLiad because I want a larger screen, and I'd be really surprised if Astak get the large Mentor out before next year. But given what you said, I think my best option is to create PDFs. I just now tried to create mobi files from some randomly chosen story files I have saved, and 2 out of 3 didn't really work. In many cases the basis is really bad, automatically generated code and/or with tables. I already spend quite some time on cleaning up the html files - it's quicker to copy into Word or Pages and create PDFs - but they didn't work so well on the CyBook...
