I don't run anti-virus (and I work in computer security! Rofl!) nor do I have the UAC for windows 7 on. I don't know what else could be causing these slowdowns for the PP and calibre.
Also things are getting constantly corrupted when I transfer them, I took 19 books, converted them all from .lit, .doc, .txt etc to .epub since epub doesn't suck on the PP apparently and the transfer corrupted on most of the files. And then half of the files that did manage to get transferred were corrupted as well and are not able to be deleted. Frustrating.
Edit: The rest of my computer is lightning fast, I don't have malware as I know what not to do. When I need to go to less savory corners of the internet I use my ubuntu laptop. So it isn't that either  |
In Calibre, are you using Save to Disk or Send to Device to put books on your PP? I wasn't very impressed with how it sent to my device, but it works great when I use save to disk. As an added bonus, Calibre lets you specify the directory structure when you save to disk, so the books show up with the correct directory structure.
Calibre can take a lot of time to convert files for me too. I'm the impatient type, so I tend to start it working when I'll be away from it. Do your ePubs open correctly within Calibre? If you use Save to Disk to save them elsewhere on your computer, do they open correctly? ePubs have always worked well on my PP. If yours are getting corrupted along the way, you might want to post the question in the Calibre section. The Calibre developers are very responsive.
