The Sonys take a ridiculous amount of time to load after changing the contents; they're really not prepared for a 4000 book library, even a well-tagged one. (The hassle of library software to manage the collections is a separate issue; a nuisance, but not a major one. It'd be better if the management software could be stored on the reader itself instead of installed on a desktop or laptop.)

I've heard no good things about the Nook's ability to manage a large library, especially one split between BN purchases and books from other sources. Treating sideloaded books as an afterthought was a horrible decision.
