If you upload some 500 rtf files *without* the Sony library software, for example by copying the files directly on the card, you might wait more than 15 minutes after inserting the card. During that time your battery meter might do down two, three marks (out of four)
If you DO use their Connect software, there is no delay.
Recently I have some 360(**) rtf files loaded on the device and when I press the "menu" button while reading the book it takes the reader 12 seconds to actually display the menu. Yes, I have just clocked it.
It looks like nobody at Sony thought that users might want to put more than a few dozen books on the reader without the use of the <heavy sarcasm> fantastic </heavy sarcasm> Sonny Connect software. Consequently the software specification that went to the contractor did not mention anything about the software being able to handle up to several thousand documents in a reasonable manner.
