Hi!

We have quite a huge file (27 MB) that takes about 4.5 Minutes until it is open in EPubReader in Firefox. The original XML-File was 170 MB and then was sized down to 27 MB as EPUB. When I open that file Firfox is not usable until the file is open. Once the file is open EPubReader performs very well and the access to the file is very fast! But if we could just decrease the time we have to wait until the file is open.

My questions are: Is it possible that we done someting wrong with the compression or is the time-to-open normal at 4.5 minutes for a file that size?

The Original Book has about 3000 pages.

Thank you for your Feedback.
