So is this a problem you see as a regular thing? Does your test "book" have embedded fonts?
Generally, I see uploading times of 45secs-2 minutes, or thereabouts. Some do, some don't, have embedded fonts.

I thought that the utter idiocy of the post about how so-and-so was "making a book from a word-processor," which of course, turned out to be completely wrong and thoroughly mischaracterized, needed to be addressed. However, your friend has, as usual, turned it into an utterly nasty and unpleasant experience, so I'm done with that. I keep trying to help newbs, but it's simply untenable.
