At least that's the best explanation I have as to why my Kobo WiFi (not really current anymore, I admit) takes longer when the book is huge.
Huge books (in my experience) often contain just a single HTML file - apparently the Kobo software needs to re-read everything from beginning to current position.
The effect is that the further you read, the longer you wait - noticable especially with huge files like the aforementioned Song of Ice and Fire (I have a 4 book edition).

Running it through Calibre to split the HTML into smaller pieces helps.
Don't you hate it when they do that?

I mean, they started off with multiple files, at the very least one for each book. Why jam them together for no reason, especially since it's actually MORE work.
