Well this is normal for me as I do carry part my library around with me for reference material. I am not complaining about the fact that it took a long time and I am glad it remembered the card. However, its internal cache will be a finite resource and I am wondering how much information it will store before it is forced to reindex.

Pan and zoom help in a pinch, but what's really needed is ePub not pdf. This applies to all readers, not just the Kobo.

I have a 6" bebook now that handles pdf reflow reasonably. But I will check out the epub. I may convert some examples (using calibre?) and show up the demo booth with a card (with only a couple of books on it to save synch time
