I have: 882 books on internal memory, 465 mb free, a blank (and formatted via device) 8gig card sitting loaded but empty, same firmware as everyone else, and haven't had a crash (but with some qualifications - see below).
Mine crashed and froze when I tried to load all my books via microsd card, and didn't wait for them to finish loading before I browsed my library. But that's expected from a device with limited memory - I bogged down resources and created the crash. All I can say is I don't think the T1 handles large collections via Microsd card very well - at least on my Nook touch (since returned..) I could load thousands of books via Microsd without a hickup, and it zoomed through the library screen. On the T1, I had to move all of them to internal memory, and then go through each of my 98 screens of books one by one, letting the covers fully load. Once I do that, it's smooth sailing.
Regarding reading habits, I usually use the buttons to turn pages, and generally read maybe an hour without taking a break. Then I usually browse through my library, close the book, or put the device to sleep. I only use sideloaded books which are placed manually by me. I don't use Calibre or Sony software, and the largest book I finished so far was about 800 pages, if that maters. I also don't use the browser, and have about 2 library loaned books on the device...but I really don't use the library lending feature too much (so far anyway).
