Vugtitan, I'm sorry, I didn't realise about the 1 G for the system. But it should work to put 3500 books, I've got some huge books on it.
As for the performance: has got better with every update; faster and smoother. But still: after uploading a lot of books( more than 50) the Kindle needs an hour or more for indexing and it takes a lot of battery, so I let it load. But it is a lot faster than in the beginning.
Before the updates the Kindle freezed a few times on me, but I think it had to do with indexing the books. The Kindle can't handle anything beside it, when loading big amount of books. For a few books it should go without any problem. The latest update was good for that too.
Yes; I've upgraded it to the latest version and am happy about that. I couldn't use my searchfunction before, without the Kindle freezing, and now I can. Yes, it takes a lot of time to search all my books, but most of the time I search in a collection
I have organized my books in 20 collections, so I can find any book I want rather fast. It is advisable however to think hard about the collections; which one do you want and if you've got a load of books on one single subject---organise it alphabetically or in parts A-H, I-L etc. It's worth while thinking about it before one put any books on the Kindle; it saves a lot of time.
As category I have for example: crime/novel/mind/classic/cultural/info/travel/german/french/literature------------that give's not too many books in one selection.
In my iLiad, I used to sort everything by alphabet, but category works better for me and is faster.
About the freezing: I always managed to reboot the Kindle and I read about the good customerservice on MR, so I never actually (perhaps just a bit) panicked when it froze.
