2. Optimal choice. Whatever I want to read next, it's there.

One of the reasons why I bought an Onyx reader first and then later a PocketBook is that these readers do not slow down with a large number of books on them.
The nook has folders and does NOT suffer slow down due to 15000 books on the sd card.

in contrast the kindle 3g becomes a brick with 3000.

freezes,reboots,r is just slow,very slow.

i think the nook generates a file table or master file table whereas inferior systems like the kindle actually go through the whole list of books and this explains the slowness.

even a window folder on a desktop has trouble with 3000 items in a folder let alone a lowly processor in a battery operated device.
