Size limitation?

Kumabjorn · 02-19-2012, 08:55 AM

I have a couple of MobiDic dictionaries between 75 and 105 MB in size. I don't seem to be able to move them to or from my Kindle 3 with Calibre. Is there a file size limit or does it take an inordinate amount of time? Usually after 30 minutes I will use Task Manager to close down the process.

USB and Flash devices is slower than a rotating drive. USB may also have % usage limits if there is other USB activity (mouse, media player...) at the same time.
Start the job, then go to sleep, out to dinner or a Movie (not on the same PC). If it ain't done then, you may have a problem

BTW active Antivirus scanning of that size file (can happen when downloading from external devices) will put a crimp in speed also.

Ok, good to know. I'll give it another try. Moving with a file manager is no problem but i want them synced to Calibre.
