So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Hi there

Regarding download sizes; I think it would be great if the file sizes were stated, alongside the different file types. This would assist in understanding how much time the download is potentially going to take. If the file size is larger than expected, there might potentially be delays in the process. It might also affect which file type a user decides to select.

Thanks.

Thanks. I think this is a good specific suggestion and will pass it on. You might get some idea of the file size from the page count - though those can be inaccurate, I know.
This post was brought to you by the word "specifically".

Thanks Alice. Yes, please. There's a forty page book I recently downloaded that took terribly long to download. Lots of images, and I think images are hard to compress. It might also just be a reflection of how terrible the internet can be here. Thanks again.
