as i said just using text,rtf,doc seems to be fine on the kobo mini.
i am up to 5000 now and i plan to dump another 4000 as soon as i have converted from mobi to rtf format using calibre.
i just copy/paste.
also i bought a nook glow and wow it does not suffer the slow down problem at all as i have put about 4000 pdfs and epubs on to it using a micro sd card.
it does not read txt,rtf,doc,mobi files.only pdf with reflow and epub.
no slow downs at all.
it must be using a master file indexing table instead of going through all the files which is what causes the problem.
this is called SMART PROGRAMMING.
browsing through the books is very very smooth.
also it has a explorer type folder browser so you can put different authors in different folders.
i.e it has folder support which is the holy grail of any ebook readers.
you ereader makers listening?
who in their right mind wants masochistically to spend years of their lives laboriously creating shelves 1 book by 1 book?
it is better than the kindle which has a 3000 book limit after which it becomes sluggish unusable or freezes/reboots at random.again poor programming and no folder support.
i might even sell the 3g keyboard kindle which cost me £150 plus £50 for the replacement 3g keyboard kindle when the screen developed lines.
