my kobo is slow loading large epubs, i had one with 1400 chapters and it would take something like 1 minute to open.
that book was 2.7 million words though, so it's not surprising. the boox reader is better at dealing with it; it can take several minutes to get a page count, but it's possible to read fine during that time.
