I have over 25000 books on my Pocketbook-reader with exactly the same performance as with 1.

That said, I love reading on the Aura. The price I pay is having my books on the computer and only transferring a few at a time. This shouldn't really be necessary....

I would love a truly open source e-reader with good hardware....
You two are not alone, I always counted the ability to take my library with me as a fundamental feature of a dedicated ereading device. Some here have implied that we should have known that the Kobo readers did not make use of a file reader, and had issues with large numbers of files. When going through the AuraHD's description on the Kobo site, I don't see where I, or anyone else would have gotten the information to "know better".

I still have hope that an open source firmware will appear that provides this natural ereader device feature to the Aura.

Luck;
Ken
