I had around 1100 books on my K2 and now have around 700. When I had 1100, every one was part of a collection and the Kindle was as slow as molasses. I read somewhere that collections were the problem and so deleted most of them, just kept a few. The speed difference was very noticeable, it was like a new Kindle!

I would really consider removing some of your collections if speed has become an issue. I do think it's the number and size of collections that affects speed much more than the number of books on your Kindle.
