Granted, this will not speed up the firmware in it's glacial processing of new books. I cannot fathom why it is so slow unless there is some very sloppy database programming or far too much data is being unnecessarily stored and manipulated per title -like moving data around rather than pointers, etc.

PS. Could you stop using hard breaks in your posts? The nearly blank lines with one word following each post line are driving me nuts.
What is this glacial processing of new books.you speak of. I only have the glacial opening of the shelves problem.

Aura process 1000 new books pretty fast, actually faster than My Sony, one of the few things it does better. Mini maybe a minute or two, still faster than the Sony. Is this glacial processing of new books a new thing?
