You might want to PM her and see what her take on it is. Perhaps if you don't put all of the books on the card at the same time ....

I know it was just an experiment, but in practical reality, I will be carrying thousands of books around on my Kindle eventually (code books and case reporters, along with my recreational reading), and so I'm hoping the Kindle will be able to handle it.
One thing to note is that almost all of the books on Amalthia's Reader were in RTF format. I think it takes longer for the Reader to open a RTF book because it has to do some pre-processing.
