I loaded a 1GB SD card with the following:

280 MB worth of books with 201 books, 16 being PDF's and the rest lrf's
200 MB worth of pictures - 676 jpg's from a Nikon camera where it usually lives

It took the 700 6 minutes to index it. After that it showed me the list of books 325 total, with the sd marked as such, the internal memory ones unmarked. You could search titles or go by author/title touch letter to jump around depending how you sort your list from the option page - any sorting change is immediate, no waiting.

I loaded a lrf sd book and the first time it took 15s or so, the second time it was like an internal memory book so 1-2 s or so. Same with the pdf's sd, first longer, second same as internal memory.

Moving inside any sd book was the same as inside internal memory, or at least not noticeably slower, while for the books in internal memory there was no difference that I could notice. Search, zoom, options, all the same for sd books as for internal memory

All 676 pictures loaded nicely and you could navigate, zoom, move forward easily. The first open took a little to stabilize, 3-4s or so, though changing orientation was immediate. For b&w the image was not bad, you could see what was about, but of course it's not color.

I do not intend to use a sd card for the foreseeable future but it's good to know that indexing almost 500 MB with 800+ files - pictures+books - was not that bad at 6 minutes.
