Kobo Wifi with SD Card Reader

rvijay · 08-07-2011, 01:44 PM

I have a 4Gb memory card for my eReader, it took 6 hours approx. to transfer 1.2Gb of ePub books to this eReader. Is this normal ? Can this process be made faster ? Thanks.
Also, when this is done, the battery drains by 35% almost.

I can only wonder how long it will take if a 32G card filled with ebooks is added to the Kobo. Appears that the processor isn't fast enough for the job.

The length of time is probably dependent on the complexity of the book. A member of this forum mentioned that it took about 45 minutes to process about 3,000 books on his SD card whereas I had 1 book that took over 15 minutes to process. Kobo has to create a table of contents for each book and this particular book ended up with a table of contents of over 92 pages in length so I believe that accounted for the long process time.
