Forma All readers (tried KOReader, Plato) seem to have memory leaks with cbz files.

As the title suggests, whenever I read cbz files, my memory usage keeps rising and not coming down - to the point it keeps freezing completely. I suspect an issue with the underlying MuPDF engine - but I'm not sure. Is there anything else I could try to do? It's essentially making my e-Reader useless, really.

What happens if you make your CBZ into an ePub?

Oh!! I have exactly the same issue. And it drives my boys crazy.

I thought it was a hardware issue, but when my daughter reads epubs, she has no problem.

How did you identify the memory leak thing?
