Hi all,

I have calibre companion on both my android phone* and my ipad 3.
I transfer my books via the 'connect/wireless device/sync books' option on both devices.

The transfer of files on my android phone is excruciatingly slow - at least 2-3 minutes for a 2mb epub. In contrast, my ipad received a 100mb pdf in about 40 seconds.

They are both on the same network, and connecting to the same PC.

Can anyone help me figure out how to fix the speed on my android phone? I put off copying new books to my phone because it takes so long, and I'm sure it's not normal behavior for the app...

Thank you for any advice!
