Review: Impressive Accomplishment of Technology

It's so amazing that today's technology can put a large collection such as Lucy Maud Montgomery's writings into one file.  The format of this collection is outstanding and as I thumbed through on my Kindle Fire 4G the entire collection, page by page, it moved quickly.  However, because of the size, 53,964KB (?), if from the beginning of the file I click on the bonus of "Pride and Prejudice" or "The Call of the Wild" only a blank screen come up.  This is frustrating.  Also, if I'm reading, say about 500 pages into a story, and go back to the carousel accidentally hitting the bar at the bottom of the page, how easy is it to go back to where I was reading?  The Kindle allows one to go to a location, or a page, but not to a specific percentage.  I tried this out:  I was at 26% and accidently hit the bar and advanced to 95%.  If I slide the progress bar back to 26 percent, it freezes up because it takes obviously too long to access that section of the file.  Personally, for a file of this size, I would rather it be retained on the Cloud where I can access one book at a time, rather than the whole collection.  I foresee this coming in the near future, but until then, I prefer to have only one book at a time to download and read.
