I have about 80 books from Kobo loaded on my Touch and every other book I have gotten from other sources are on my micro SD card. When I just had the Kobo books on, it looked like I had a lot of room left, only about 210 mb used.

I put the SD card in (with about 600 books on it) and it took almost two hours to process - now my internal memory is more than half full with 760 mb used and 640 free. I have been wondering too what will happen when all those image files overwhelm my internal memory. I have looked at them and wondered if I can delete any of them? Would be nice if the whole image file could be moved to my micro sd card - lots of room there!

I have 1000 plus books on an SD card.
I managed to get acceptable speed by deleting all Kobo image files except Library_Full.parsed, Library_Grid.parsed and Library_List.parsed. The number of image files deleted was 3,000 plus.

This led to a dramatic increase in performance and responsiveness. I have also stayed with firmware 1.9.14.
