This may have something to do with the number of books on the device -- which does slow down significantly when doing searches (or even simply calling up the Home page) once you start bogging it down with a huge number of books.

Although the specs say it can handle around 3,000 books, in my own experience with about half that number on mine, it can take up to half a minute to get to the Home page after waking up the device. Complex searches are positively painful.

Even though Amazon says it can handle 3GB of books or around 3,000, my experience shows this would pretty much grind it to a halt!
