well, since no assistance, I went back to 3.48 which not only doesn't have the huge gigabytes of caches, it also opens books lickety-split. I'm still cleaning up the gb of garbage on my backup disks since I let several generations occur before I noticed this cache problem.
I can open the Delphi Complete Harvard Classics in seconds with SumatraPDF, about 1/2 minute with amazon kindle for pc, a minute or two with ebookreader 3.48, and never was willing to wait longer than 10 minutes to see if ebookreader 4.xx would ever get it opened.
I'll watch for progress on the new version of the ebookreader. I can understand the value of having a common code base, and see the logic behind thinking that decompressing an ebook would make it open faster on the second and subsequent times, but that assumes that we read on the same machine on which we use calibre reader. I use the reader mainly to get tables of contents to put into the calibre comment. I read on my Kindle or Kobo, so having the super long delay to open a book isn't a winner for me.
I'd love to see a super fast, non-cache-ing reader for those who'd like one which is compatible with new releases of calibre. I tried copying the 3.48 into 4.x but get dll errors and it's not just one dependency, I guess, since I never got it to work.
Regards,
