This is my one pet peeve with them, they tell you you can have thousands of books but it actually cannot handle thousands of books.

Thanks for the helpful advice, Nyn. I'll give that a try.

If that works, an added benefit will be to prevent me from losing hours in perfectionistic tinkering if I were rebuilding my library from scratch (correcting metadata for Kindle Store books; e-mailing non-Kindle Store books to my Personal Documents; re-organizing all my Collections...sounds fun but my life is far too busy to lose myself in recreational-OCD-land).
