It does make it better, but it still takes over a minute (to three, depending on the size of the book) for me to open large Rosetta books. I have discovered that If I blow out all my books and the footnotes and only have a few books at a time that performance is much better, but I hate to be tied down to only a few selections.
Hi,
The problems mentioned really sound like MS Reader for my old Jornada... unbearably slow, especially when there were more than 50 or so books in the library.

My 2210 has around 200 lits (some purchased with DRM -- and others I converted from text, rtf and html files), all in the same location in my 'books' folder on a CF card.

Works like a charm. The only annoying thing is remembering to delete the book from MS Reader rather than from explorer. That way I don't leave an "orphan" annotations file in RAM.
