What!!! How is that possible I'm so jealous
Mine is the Clara HD...

Hmmm... do you read really really really fast? It seems that if I turn several pages consecutively just for the page turning of it without waiting to read a page, there is no lag for the next screen to be rendered... maybe I read so slowly that the Clara gets bored and starts doing other things in the background... My WiFi is on... is yours? That's something I didn't check. I will next time I have some time to go back and forth between firmwares again.

Huh...

Granted, that was on a tame novel with sane chapters and sane-ish code, not a gigantic omnibus .
Haha yes well... the book wasn't actually a gigantic omnibus as far as I know*, it's just the number of page turns that was high... (How the total number of pages in a book is displayed is something that actually annoys me in the 4.24 firmware: the number of ereader screen size 'pages' instead of approximated paper book pages. Now I have no idea how to compare what I'm reading to the length of the actual paper book )

*Just looked the book up on Goodreads.com... apparently the paper book has 536 pages. So not a short novella...

I do tend to notice and keep track of these things, to make sure KOReader still beats everyone, Kindle included ;p.

I'll run a test the next time I can and get back to you.
Thank you!!

On the off-chance it's really book-specific, feel free to PM me a scrambled copy of something where you notice something weird .
Oh that's very kind, I will do**! Would be strange if it's book specific, that would mean that it's something that firmware 4.24 can't handle, but 4.9 could...

**EDIT: Done!
