I can load well over ten thousand books on my reader in nice hierarchical directories and I do not have to worry about tricks like disabling indexing or manually creating collections. And the device will boot and work as quickly as when there is only 5 books on it. On my old PocketBook 360 I can even set library view to a mode that displays 51 books/directories per page. Oh ... and it supports most of the e-book formats, including .doc and .docx without conversion.
The question becomes can you read 10,000 books. Until someone can do that, I don't see a need to have a reader to hold that many books.

Heck, I'm such a finicky reader, by time I got through 3,000, I'd probably want to delete the rest because I'm tired of reading that genre or type of book .

I also suspect my e-reader will die before I do anyway.
