Hello everyone, not totally sure if this belongs in the general discussions section but I guess so. Also, I couldn't find threads that answer this question in satisfactory manner but if I'm wrong and missed something, links would be appreciated. So...

From what user experiences I've read about using e-readers (never used one myself), it seems that regardless of specific e-reader used, all will suffer from serious slowdowns when the memory card (8gb, 16gb...) used is loaded with thousands of e-books. So my questions are:

1. Is this a problem with the card or the reader and the way it displays the vast contents of said card?

2. Does the memory cards speed class (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 I guess?) affect this problem and if so, by how sizable an amount? If I were to buy a class 10 16gb microSDHC instead of the cheaper class 4 16gb model, would it speed up the booting, loading and browsing of the library, or page-turning?
