I think it is a Kobo thing caused by how and why they sort the books based on the different posts I have read. A 'bad' book can even make the device stop responding and necessitate a reset. The kobo apparently reprocesses the books every time you open a shelf or even when you return to a shelf, and it is a lengthy process. If you accidentally touch the screen when it is processing then it will open a shelf or a book when it is done and you have to start again. Can be a tad annoying.
If you are happy with only a few books then it is not a problem. 800 books on the mini only takes about 10 seconds to process. I far prefer the mini. It is surprisingly easy to read on for something that small.
