It's not the number of hyperlinks which is the problem with the Sony, but having all the book text in a single file, which is what gets loaded into memory all at once.

This is a known problem with some Sonys (and probably other models of reader), which is why the recommended course of action is to split the HTML into separate files, so the reader can load things a chunk at a time, usually based on chapters (and this may have to do with why Calibre often auto-splits stuff as well).

Well, it seemed to work well enough for this guy, who got up to 4080 NCX entries for the TOC for his bible commentary thing until KindleGen choked on converting it to Mobi. Apparently the newer version fixes that limitation.
