Okay - I already know PDF is far from the ideal format. Let's skip past the suggestions about what format to use in this one.

I have a PDF that is mostly images. I went and optimized it from 220megs down to 48megs. I loaded it onto my reader using the Sony software.

Page turns take twice as long as .lrf format. Am I surprised? Not really.

Any tips for making the page turns faster? Is there another way to optimize my PDF and still have it available in landscape all pretty-like?

For what it's worth, it's a book on typography design - so ideally I kind of want a middle ground between quality and - well, page turn speed!

I hope this is possible.
