I don't think that many folders will affect the searching speed but if you have a lot used space (notice I did not say books) the FAT system start to get fragmented and hence slowing down your searches. This is because the way FAT32 works: it does not avoid newly written files from becoming scattered across the partition.
Fragmentation is irrelevant on flash memory.
