I notice that it has a 20 page TOC that works in Koreader. All told, I think it loaded pretty fast. I admit that it seemed like a long time, when you are used to almost instant loading.
It could appear faster with the Kobo software as a good deal of processing for chapters and links takes place when it is loaded onto the device and included in its database.

Thank you very much, Ken. I tried to open it again just then. Yes, it took about 40 seconds this time. I think the reason it took longer when I first tried it is that I probably "clicked" it a few times (maybe even tapped many places and tried to turn the device off because I didn't see any response) so the cpu stuck there. I just realized that a title doesn't turn black (being highlighted) when I tap on it in FileManager so it looks like the screen is not responsive while in fact an order is being processed. Inside a book in the Koreader icons will be highlighted to indicate I hit the right ones. A minor thing but perhaps the developers could add one line in the program to reduce the potential confusion when a large file is being processed.
