Anyone find the their e-reader struggles with the Secret Projects?
The epubs have these massive, beautiful drawings which my (1 year old) e-reader struggles with every time i reach the end of the chapter, and then because they are so large they are overly zoomed in.
i'm tempted to run them through something like Libre to see if i can compress the images down to something my ereader can handle.

I have an 8 year old Kobo that had been struggling with several books recently, but the Secret Project books were the absolute worst. Some of the pages would take 30-60 second to load and then only display a small corner of the artwork.
I have been using Calibre on my PC to handle my ebook library for years. The software has the ability to add plugins that provide more functionality. I recently found the Kobo Touch Extended plugin which automatically converts ebooks to a better format for Kobo when you load them onto the reader. All the art is scaled down to for the screen size, along with some other conversions.
It has made a night and day difference for me. Pages load almost instantly, even when they are just artwork. I honestly want to read Tress again now that I can see the art fully.

I'll check that out!
I have a Kono Libra 2, which is still their newest in that line, and I have 15s page turns when on images.
Thinking I'm gonna reach out to Sanderson with a comment

I don't have an issue with them on my five years old kindle.

I have that issue with my Kobo. It takes a few seconds to load some pages.
