Number of ebooks; the indexing system slows down when more than a few hundred are on the reader or in the card at one time. Reading individual books isn't affected, but navigation between books, looking at the title/author/date lists, slows down immensely, as does the time for boot-up after loading new books onto the device.

None of the ereader nav systems are actually built for anything like the number of books that can now be stored on the devices; none of them have coherent methods for coping with several thousand ebooks.
