Hi there,
I wonder how folks here are handling large libraries in KOReader. I currently have about 4500 epubs on my devices, indexed using the book scan within KOReader. Whenever I go to the filemanager to look for a new book, it takes ages (like in: several minutes) to open the first screen. On the bottom it says something like page 12 of 430 pages, so I know, there is a lot of calculation going on to put my in the right place (although that is not the place I want to be in..). So this is clearly not the best way to handle this, but what are the alternatives? BTW, my library is handled in Calibre and sent to the device, but not using collections, just a simple structure of Authorname/Title on the file system.
There must be better ways to do this!
All the best,
Ctop
