No. I don't think so. I get text files from several different places, or,
I convert RTF or MS Word files to text. I also transfer BRF files to the
Bookport. The lag happens with everyone of them, and, as it has been
stated by others, you can never predict when it will happen.

Do you suppose it has anything to do with how the file was created? For example, if I saved a file in Kurzweil1000 as a textfile and it works fine, but a textfile created from saving a webpage as a textfile is slugish. That is only example that I thought of off the top of my head, and may not necessarily be the right combination. Also, what about slugishness with a Word file? I don't have any of those on my unit or I would try it.
