I would like to try the Simple Touch Reader, but my research says it can hold ~ 1000 books while the nook classic can hold ~ 1,500 with SD card. I'm getting close to 900 books now and have noticed some hits in performance, particularly in loading my library. I have archived a fair number of these books. What I need to know is will the STR handle a library with ~ 1,500 books as long as at least 500 of the books remain archived, or is it a matter of actual number of titles that the library software has trouble managing? It looks like I may have to eventually manage my library through sideloading & removing books, which kind of defeats the purpose of having wifi.

I don't have anything on my nook but the default screensavers/wallpaper and books. No music or anything.

Thoughts?
The STR is one of the best readers for large libraries, as it can handle literally thousands and thousands of books via MicroSD card without a performance decrease.

900 isn't even getting up there..
