First thank you! Next how can I donate via paypal to help out. I love my HP Touchpad and without you no ePub. My problem is with large ePub documents. They slow the reader down so much it takes up to 60 seconds to change a page. Can this be fixed? You will have TONS more users with the 1 million Touchpads now being sold and you are the only game in town for ePub! Again thanks!

    Thanks for the positive feedback!

    The reason for the slowness was due to the inherent limitations of JavaScript on WebOS.

    This was supposed to be fixed with the native code (C++) augmented pReader. It was in development and a beta of it was available via the WebOS Developer forum, which greatly sped up parsing and rendering of large files.

    Sadly, with the demise of WebOS, neither version will be finalized. So I'm (belatedly) marking this ticket as "wontfix".
