About the lag, I have about 400 books and it works as flawlessly as when I first bought it, but if it can't hold 2000+ books while claiming it can it's certainly a serious problem which should really be addressed asap
Curious to know if anyone else with that many books has the same issues, because I also read a lot of short stories and like to keep them on the device.

Currently, I have about 1700 mostly full length books on my Aura. No issues with speed. The only times I have issues is when I am mucking with the ereader copying files, manually editing the database, etc. At times, I am simply in a "let's try this and see what happens" mode so I have had to factory reset on a fairly regular basis.
A simple factory reset, connect to WiFi and let the firmware update and the few Kobo bookstore books synchronize. After that's done, connect to the computer, sideload firmware if needed and let Calibre copy the rest of my library over, disconnect, processing (about 20 minutes there), reconnect and push the series data, disconnect and it's ready to go.
Virtually all my sideloads are run through Sigil/Flightcrew (cleanup epub style and error checking) and then run through epubcheck. The problems some have reported with ebooks hanging their Kobo have not bothered me. Covers are in quite a few ebooks have been replaced with a decent sized image -- who in possession of a moiety of their senses would use a 90x131 image for a cover? -- stylesheets are edited to give me a consistent font size, maps and other images are set to use as much screen as possible, etc.
For me, the time it takes is worthwhile. Others may have different opinions.
