So now that I am a little more comfortable playing around with converting media, here is the latest challenge.

Very large digital book. 975 pages. It's huge. I can totally use it as is on the Reader though. Font wise its ok. But the file size is literally 9.5MB, so it makes the Reader go really slow. Like opening it would give me time to walk to New Jersey and come back. That slow.

So I thought maybe converting that to LTF as well might help and make it smaller. Wow was I wrong. That winds up being 32MB after converting it. It is almost 4 times as big now.

Does anyone have any suggestions on making the file size more manageable so I can move around in this book a little faster?
