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. |
i am afraid you are wrong again and your theory based education cannot compete against real world reality - hence the ivory tower thou inhabit.
i had the 3 g kindle with 5 way controller... .loaded it with 4500 books and after indexing it was so slow...more like a paper weight.
i have 10000 on the nook glowlight and it does NOT have this issue at all.it is fast both in indexing,searching and scrolling through lists via file explorer.
You obviously cannot understand file system pointers and your link is irrelevant as i never mentioned memory or ram.you did.
i dare you you to dump 4500 books on your kindle and it will so slow you yourself will throw it out the window.
