MS Reader stealing memory

Well I've never had any problem until about 2 days ago. MS reader usually runs fine and I can read for hours upon hours without any problem, but lately everytime I flip the page it takes up about 40kb, I know that's not much, but it slowly adds up and I have to close MS reader in order to have it restore the memory then relaunch the program again. I have never had this problem before, anyone have any advice?

There is a bug in Pocket PC 2002 MS Reader, that didn't show in the earlier version of Pocket PC.

The problem appears usually when many graphics are included the eBook. Many users doesn't have this problem, however, once they read a hundred pages or so, the slowdown will happen.

At this moment, there are no solution to the problem other than what you've been doing.

Microsoft is aware of the problem.

thank you for this information. I was having the same problem with a book that has a lot of graphs. It would go well and then get slower and slower as I went through the pages.

I don't suppose we know when the bug will be fixed. It's too bad because otherwise it's a good reader.
