I don't know WHAT causes the slowdown; I assumed it was poor database design. Maybe it's having 6000 items in the cloud instead.
But it definitely happens when I have more than 900 or 1000 books on the kindle itself (it varies a bit how many, probably by size of books). My kindle is a kindle keyboard, as I said.
Maybe newer kindles don't have that problem.
Anyway my point wasn't to argue about whether anybody else sees this problem or where exactly the problem is. My point was it wouldn't help to have larger flash if problems like this exist, where the software/OS doesn't handle large sets of data correctly.
