Yes, my epubs takes much longer to load now too. I don't know if it's building something internally or?

I've only investigated it a little, but yes, it's a known fact that the new viewer takes several seconds to open the first time it opens a file.
Subsequent opens of the same file are quicker, even after restarting Calibre. That suggests that it has cached something somewhere, but I haven't found where. Unfortunately for those of us who regularly update our ebooks (as opposed to those whose ebooks are generally static) changes to the ebook file cause the slow-start again. Calibre's ebook viewer has been completely rewritten due to Calibre needing to switch to a newer HTML render engine. It's been out for less than a week, so there are bound to be issues. Hopefully this will improved in future. |

Yes there is a cache maintained. I doubt initial open speed is ever going to be on par with the old reader, its kind of a fundamental trade-off in the design. You get much faster re-opens for a slower initial open.

I wouldn't consider it a priority right now, though. |

Yeah it should be possible to have programmitc cache generation or more longer term, make a new ebook format specifically for calibre that will not need pre-processing in the viewer. |

I have not found an epub viewer I really love anywhere. EBookDroid on my phone was moderately good until they changed the fonts to infinitesimal, though it was always weird that it insists on displaying italics as yellow highlighter. I do wish Calibre would let me convert my other epub books to singlepage HTML in an easy click, rather than having to explode each book and manually compile the HTML. Mind, being able to explode the book at all is awesome. I try not to fuss too much: it's free software and I'm very grateful for what it does, but if I could have my 'druthers, y'know ^ Last edited by Chrystalline; 10-12-2019 at 12:55 PM. |

Just reporting in, the test version worked on at least one story I downloaded new from SB.

Hey, Jim, I noticed something kinda odd. Wattpad seems to be listed both as supported and "not likely to be supported" in the GitHub page on supported sites: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...Supportedsites
So, which is it? |

Anyway, for converting epub into HTML... have you tried converting to HTMLZ first, and then just unzipping it? HTMLZ is pretty much what you want, only packed in a zip file with a changed extension. |
