Thankfully, we live in more enlightened times. What you see is exactly what was written at the time. Editing history leads to tyranny. Q. Why are epub books slower than mobi books? A. When a mobi file is created, the software inserts 'location markers' into the code that makes up the file. This makes it a much larger file than the same book in epub format; in some cases 10 times as big. The markers are used by .mobi readers to navigate around the book. There are no such markers in an epub, so before you begin to read one the device loads the whole file into its memory and allocates pretend page numbers to navigate with. This is why epubs take much longer to open. It also means that some memory is already being used; the larger the book, the more is used. Long books are sometimes slow to search. This is not a problem for Computers and iPads which have plenty of memory and processing power to cope with large epub files. Prints Q. I can't open the .zip file? A.
