Can confirm: the same files open flawlessly on 5.2 but in 6.1 they become sluggish.
I have been going back and forth with PB support (no complaints there, theyīve been quite attentive) but they could not replicate the issue on their end. I am not too worried since in 5.2 I can use the device and downgrading is quite easy.
Itīs a shame because the screen is much more responsive, the UI is also better, and I really dig the contrast adjustment options for cbz/cbr/pdf, particularly if I am reading "color" images where I might want to crank up the gamma on black/white. Maybe these are partly to blame? (e.g. if the device has to have overhead to process the faster refresh rate and contrast, that leaves less CPU to open the books themselves)
I have tried and itīs reproducible after full reset, internal memory format, removing the SD card and everything except one file, etc...Seems itīs worse at handling images now in particular, text-only files donīt have this issue.
One thing the support rep I chatted with which struck me was that files without copyright protection might be more likely to run slow. I do not have DRMīd files in mine (mostly itīs either cbz files or pdfs of scientific papers which come without DRM) so I canīt tell
I noticed with 5.2 that the device became much snappier after a while using it so maybe itīs the same with 6.1. Will see in a couple of days and otherwise I will roll back to that version.
