I had some issues with lost bookmarks, when using the hidden file hack on my uSD card. As this hack also wonderfully works on the kobo device as well, I created hidden folders on the kobo's internal memory. Now koreader correctly bookmarks the last reading position. So I think, I have to blame the uSD card.

As a nice side effect this content will not be processed by Nickel. I created some test folders on the device with 5000 books in different subfolders. I found that a maximum of 500 books per folder should not be exceeded, otherwise the file processing would be too slow. Koreader managed 2500 books in one folder, before crashing. Anything between 100-300 books seems to work without flaws and with appropriate speed.

edit: still some issues with remembering bookmarks and style-sheets...
