i am talking about the one before which was awesome and did not suffer the slow down you mentioned.
How kind of you to clarify.

My friend had the old one too. I decided to mention the missing SD card anyway, assuming that is the one people woud be likely to get...

256 mb memory does not load all the books but caches them in the kindle and slows because of it.

the original nook generated an index text file instead with pointers to the actual file and was very fast.

i have 3 to prove it.
You are still talking out of your rear.

The Kindle does not do what you say.

Not only does it imply that Amazon has forsaken universal rules of programming used by every device on the face of the earth simply to torment their users, I also have a Kindle Touch, as does my sibling, and two of my friends. Another two friends own the Keyboard, and four or five own the Kindle PW's 1&2. Yet another owns the Basic Kindle with 5-way controller.

None have seen the behavior you describe.
Neither have the thousands on MobileRead... except for you apparently.

On a somewhat related note http://linuxatemyram.com
If you derived your conclusion from hacking and installing a terminal on a Kindle, and checking the memory, this might explain your confusion. (Obscure but possible. )
But a Nook should do the same, it is Android which is based on linux.
