Talking Thanks for the input

Thank you, all of you, for your rapid answers.

So for uncomplicated novels without images or toc rtf or lrf are roughly identical in speed - though not in size. So rtf files would not necessarily have to be converted to lrf for a quick read.

TXT files are a different issue - either the gutenberg converter or what I have tried: a pass through WORD searching/replacing triple hard returns with a symbol then searching/replacing single hard returns with a space then replacing the symbol with hard return. More work.

I appreciate HarryT's comment:

What happens when you are a dedicated book collector? Then, I guess the solution is to slowly convert everything to LRF and hope the second generation Baen eBook reader can decipher them...

Thanks

P.S. I'm still interested in the different page turn speeds, but I've asked a more direct question in another thread.
