Apparently pdfsam made somehow the smaller joined pdf's slower to read on the kindle, and since I couldn't succesfully run jpdftweak on those I wouldn't know if that's better. |
Yes, native PDF output does have all those advantages, though I don't think it's always faster to process than a bitmapped file--it depends on the PDF. Plus the text of the source file has to be laid out so that you can still read it without text re-flow, which isn't always the case. I'm surprised that pdfsam would be the culprit. I think one would really have to do more tests to confirm that for sure. My hunch would be that it's a combination of pdfsam and the size of the file.
