i have tested it with 10000 books and it's quick.
i think it generates an index file when you add/subtract books and uses that to point to files instead of going to the actual files.this makes it fast.
pity the kindle moron designers can't do this and inflict us with stupid time consuming "collections".
i have 3 nook glow glowlights now.cost me £50 each.better then the 3g kindle crap i have lying in a drawer.

I have never had the Kindle UI slow down except for when creating collections and doing a global search.
Not sure about the collections management. Fortunately the one thing I spend the least time on is editing collections.
The global search is a no-brainer that it is slow.
On the other hand, I have borrowed my friend's Nook Glowlight -- for purely experimental reasons!!! -- and discovered it to be slow in every way shape and form.
The Nook also suffers from a severe lack of storage space, e.g. partitioned userstore and the removal of the exalted SD slot.
"i think it generates an index file when you add/subtract books and uses that to point to files instead of going to the actual files.this makes it fast." -- what exactly is this even supposed to mean? Do you mean to imply you think the Kindle loads the ebook file into memory in order to page through your device library? I cannot fathom why you would think so, and considering the Kindle only has 256 MB of RAM, it could not possibly load 3 GB of books into memory just to show the books ondevice.
Suffice it to say -- both the Kindle and Nook store
metadata about the book i order to index it.

I do not have a Kobo, but I have never had problems with the speed of transfer to my Kindle. Since it is a basic filesystem operation, I don't see what might be going wrong.
Although calibre must update the Kobo database in addition to transferring the book, so if anything it would be the other way around (by milliseconds
).
