Apologies for the gap in posts - my laptop has ceased to function, so managing that took precedence!

Before it died, I did indeed load just over 50 books to the KT with no problems. I absolutely hate the home screen - it just looks really scruffy with the five different-sized book-covers shown,and I have no idea how they we selected. I'm guessing that it is something to do with how recently the files were opened, since the biggest cover is the book I'm reading at the moment, but three of them have not been opened on the KT yet, so I don't know. What is wrong with just having a text list of whatever this selection is??

Anyway, I wondered whether having more books loaded on the KT would slow page-turns, and (purely subjectively) it seems that it hasn't. I am still having the problem of missed page-turns, but it seems to be related to how firmly I touch the screen - very gentle touches work more reliably.

Now I have access to my full library again, I am going to load about 200 books onto my Kingston 8GB class 4 SD card, and see how that goes. If I get the chance, I will load it first of all with the card in the KT, and then format and do the same using a card-reader to see if that makes any difference.

Overall, to this point I am enjoying the KT. I haven't had much chance to play with the browser yet - just enough to see if would connect to BBC News - though it is the icing on the cake if it does work. I'll probably have a play with that after I get back from holiday - I don't want to risk needing to reinstall things when I am 2000 miles from home!
