Try putting "gigs and gigs of books" on a memory card, and see how long the Reader takes to index it (go for lunch while it's trying to do it; it might have finished by the time you get back). The Reader is pretty self-evidently not designed with this in mind!

The only real use for a large memory card is storing MP3 files; it just plain doesn't work with thousands of books on it.
I said it hadn't arrived yet in the very first post in this thread.

And yes, I know that indexing will take time. But if I put all those books in and plan to update the card with new books once a year, I find that grinding through that long and arduous process is acceptable... or am I getting this completely wrong, and the Reader indexes books every time it's turned on?
