I used to have the same problem with my devices. It happens soon... I had a dozen PDFs, 50 pages each or so, with an average of 10-15 annotations on the margin - and it became absurdly slow - closing a note was taking about 40-50 seconds.

I have resorted to doing the same - downloading the papers to my PC and deleting them from my device. I can view the annotated papers on the PC or re-upload them when needed.

I say 'I used to' because I have switched to an iPad for PDFs and notes. I still prefer my SONY for reading - but not for annotating.


But something peculiar happened a couple of days ago. I backed up some files on an SD card and put the SD card into my reader. So now I have about 200 annotated PDFs on my reader... and notes are sluggish, but not nearly as slow as they used to be in the past. I don't know why, frankly. And I have not bothered to experiment to figure it out - as I said, I have moved over. I don't see why having the papers on an SD card would help - if anything, I would expect that to make it worse. Yet....
