TBH, there are well over a thousand indies / books / novellas / anthologies on my account.

And I can confirm that one person can EASILY read that much and indeed it is very simple to accrue that much content at no cost in these heady days of digital giveaways.

So I can sympathise with the problem, The DX does indeed get stupidly slow.
Certainly for searching - as the search pulls up all results - rather than searching by title etc. That is a different problem but based around the same core issue : Large data needs a decent engine to parse it and the horsepower to get it done before anyone notices...

Does that sound like a DX to you?
Me neither.

Keep it real. Open an alternate account for your swaithe of freebies. Have a "best" account.

minimise back-end data.

disable the indexing thread,

Lock down your connections back to amazon: to stop syncing, notes, social networking, updates, indexing and log noise down to a minimum,

disable the creation on-board logging in relevant sections.

disable services that reference said data and attempts postbacks on it.

That is a list - in inverse square order of effort to likely improvement.

I would probably go as far as "Lock down your connections".
