They advertise you can have tens of thousands of books on your SD card, which is a lie. A lie that made me buy the wrong device. I don't care about the money but I do care about lies and the waste of customers' time. It's probably good they went off the market.
I haven't tried 20,000 books on my T3 but it handles 4000 books just fine. Shelves open in seconds. Not noticeably slower than with 10 books) The same number of books, in fact the same books, takes my Aura HD 5+ minutes to open the shelves list.

I can't actually fit the same 4000 books on my mother's kindle.

Perhaps I will try renaming all of my books via plugboard (I don't have 20,000) and putting them on double or triple just to see.

I understand your point, and your frustration, and bitterness. Kobo advertises 30,000 books and while they make no claims that the shelf list will open in a timely manner, one assumes so.

One thing I do because I had to on my T1 with a lot of books is to disconnect the reader from the USB port after sending books, then plug it back in to USB port without connecting until it processes them (little arrow stops whirring).

But I am curious as to which readers
