MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Forma Is it normal for the Forma to be rather slow when reading PDFs?

I often use it to read RPG pdfs and it takes more than 2 seconds to turn the page sometimes.

This happens even with PDFs that are only 25 MB. Generally academic papers in the 2 MB range or less do fine.

Is this normal behavior? I guess I expected a little more from such an expensive device.

edit: worth mentioning that I read PDFs through Dropbox if it makes a difference
