It depends on the ebook format being used on the devices. PDF is the slowest, EPUB and MOBI are relatively quick.

Also, I removed the ID from the filenames for devices other than Sonys, because it serves no purpose.

Isn't it used by the On device column?

Finally, note that the first time you use this code to open a device, it will not be any faster, and could be slower. It must build the metadata cache.

We can always add a progress dialog for the initial cache build.

Kovid, the code is in the my lp repository for your review. Also, my HTC driver is there. I would appreciate it if we could keep that driver at least until the release, because it is incredibly useful for my testing.

Unfortunately, I'm travelling the rest of this week (leaving tonight) so I don;t know if I will have the time to review it and build an updated beta, let's see.
