I wonder if load times have improved. I had this on my Kobo Libra 2, and it took it easily 5 minutes or more to open an admittedly large epub file. Changing the font size also incurred a huge penalty as it reflowed the entire document.
Conversely, the built-in software never struggled with that file.
- II2II 2y agoI ended up getting a faster Kobo! Thankfully, the slow load is a one time thing, per book. Depending upon when you tried it, KOReader has switched to a progressive model of updating it's caching (with most of it being handled in the background) when modifying a book's formatting. That said, I think this may be mostly based upon a book's formatting. Messing around with upload options in Calibre may help. (For example, Calibre recently added an option to speed up load times with Kobo's reader software.)
- mkozlows 2y agoThat Calibre option isn't relevant -- it's for Kobo's native stuff, which treats "KEPUB" different from regular ePub, in ways that I haven't bothered to remember.
- homebrewer 2y agoI think it builds a full text search index by default, have you tried disabling that?
- E39M5S62 2y agoI have not. I uninstalled it two years ago and haven't felt the need to go back to it.
