My reader still hasn't been delivered so can't check this...

I've read that extremely long books can cause noticeable page-turn slowdowns (perhaps relating only to pdf files - not sure).

Here's my issue - I'd like to do series of books as one (like HarryT does) but am wondering whether there is a noticeable slowdown in performance/page turn speed with ebooks of more than 1000 pages...

1. lrs file using reader fonts
2. lrs file using embedded fonts
3. lrs file using embedded fonts and 4-6 cover photos...

What is the performance hit (if any) for these scenarios compared, say, to a 300 page ebook?

Are there reader agility issues? memory issues? (Have no idea how it works)

Thanks...
