You open an author folder, the Reader detects there are files in it and not just other folders, and then it indexes those files/books.

What I'm suggesting is a sort of indexing-by-need. This would support as huge a library as you want on current Reader hardware.
All it needs it better programming. The rate of time taken to scan an increasing number of books points purely to poor coding. This could be fixed by a firmware upgrade, if they felt it was worth spending the time on.
