The higher resolution you go the slower it gets until you might find it locking up.
Ha! Ha! Of course not. Don't you think I know the limitations of my device by this time?

The thing is that this old reader is still suitable for my needs and I updated Calibre (although previous version wasn't that old) and now it converts to lrf with no problem.
Now, since the old one works pretty good I have to ask myself what would be the benefits of the new one? Certainly the new one would offer wifi so I just wondered how these "luxuries" work. Plus I also have to have a computer with win XP around to communicate with my reader.

I mean I remember when I first got it (was this the first reader ever?) it looked like something from Star Trek, but now it's so outdated that newer windows don't even recognize it.

Although I still don't get why manufactures still didn't move from 6 inch screens.
