"Too many" for this device would be more than the capacity of the device. We all know that you can load up a 60 GB iPod to the highest capacity and it functions just as well as if it had only 1 GB worth of data on it. I can't see why one should expect any less from an eReader or from any other product for that matter. It either performs as expected at the advertised capacity or its advertised capacity needs to be revised. Imagine a car company selling you a car with four seats, but you find out that if you use more than one or two of those seats the car's performance is quite appreciably degraded, and when you go to inquire they tell you the problem is you want to use "too many" of the seats and they can't see why anyone would need to have more than two people in the car at one time anyway!

No need to tell me. I have been pissed about it a long time.
I have experimented a bit, and it's not sheer number of books. How many collections you have, how many annotations/highlights, it all matters.
Annotations in particular. 100 annotated PDFs will slow my devices to a crawl, not just on disconnecting, but also every time I have to return to the home screen or take new notes.
