Why is the reader slower with Calibre books?
First off, let me say that I love Calibre. I works great, and I use both Windoze and Linux machines and I love that it is cross-platform.
One thing I have noticed, is if I load a book with Sony's ebook library software and then change the font from S to M on the reader, the change is extremely quick. On the other hand, if I used Calibre to load the book in the reader, the font size change takes a pretty long while. Just wondering what the difference is? Thanks for a great application! Randy |

You've already identified the difference.
The Sony software preformats the books, Calibre does not. Therefore, calibre-loaded books go through the formatting phase on the Reader itself. |

Thanks guys,
I can live with it that way because Calibre is so much better than the Sony software! I don't guess there is any chance of Calibre to include the pre-format is there? Is the pre-format a proprietary routine? Randy |
