Slow loading persists--& dog-eared page momentarily displayed

1) Slow loading. Hyphenation off. 6-7 seconds to launch Stanza and return to John W. Campbell's "The Black Star Passes", a book downloaded via wifi from within Stanza from Gutenberg. Same amount of time, each time. (I can actually count 1 one-thousand, 2 one-thousand, and get up to 8 one-thousand!)

I just checked on the Gutenberg site and the book is only 176K in size in epub format (and only 233K in an epub format with images, which my ebook doesn't have). It's relatively fast to return to from within Stanza itself (2-3 seconds).

Display dims during reading

My display (iPhone) will dim after a few minutes reading. It becomes unreadable at that point. I've tried changing themes, backgrounds, font colors, turning night mode off and on. As it is Stanza is becoming useless. Any advice would be appreciated.
