Slow PDF reading
I am experiencing too an extremely slow reading on PDF books, practically on all the readers I have installed on my D2-912 pad. EPUB on the other hand is very fast. I use FBReader which has a very nice interface.
May be somebody can give me an idea if the following variables can affect the speed:
1. Keeping the books on the internal memory vs an SD Card?
2. My internal memory is about 1.3 GB and I have about 450 MB of books stored.
Can this relatively high volume slow down the reading?
3. Most of my PDF material are books with an ancient Greek text and an English transalation on the side. Does the Greek font somehow slow down the processing? EBookDroid, EzPDFreader , Mantano and Moon Reader + all read PDF , but they all seem to perform on the slow side with PDF.

4. Would a conversion from PDF to EPUB help?

Thanks
