This matches my experience with a K3. I recently moved must of my reading to a Windows 8.1 tablet (Dell Venue 8 pro) and have stripped my K3 to a small collection of some 10 books. I'd had some 700-800 books on it before the switch.

With the large set of books performance was fine when reading. Moving around in the book (endnotes, etc), accessing the dictionary, and setting bookmarks was fine; the device's response was quick. Adding a book to a collection was painfully slow, though, and I regularly checked to make sure there were no hangs indexing a new book. I also waited a while after adding a book or books before attempting to move them to a collection, hoping to avoid any processor load with normal background indexing. Now that the K3 has only 10 books, everything is fast, even managing collections.
