I have a similar issue with the -n parameter where the Kindle becomes horribly slow with occasional crashes when reading a document. The reason I'm experimenting with -n is because I want to be able to highlight documents. The source PDF is text and not bitmap so OCR should not be necessary, right?

I also noticed that with -n the font on Kindle is much smoother which I'd prefer, but right now it's impossible to read the documents because of the slowness.

Regardless of the shortcomings k2pdfopt is a huge improvement over PDF to mobi conversion or reading PDFs as is on Kindle. Cheers.
