If you put too much stuff on it, it will crash the menu, make the full-text search very slow and result very noisy. So I just keep the best of the best works on my reader and leave everything else in the "cloud". Usually a google search can delivery more relevant information about my request. And that's also why I prefer Kindle to Sony reader.
I agree that it is a personal thing and it is always better to have options. The point I want to make is that: it sucks if Kindle 2 doesn't have SD slot, but it may not be as disastrous as you think.
And, I am very certain that Kindle 2's built-in memory can hold 400 books. |
So far I haven't found any slowdown OR crashes....I do, however, plug it in about ever other night to charge while I sleep....I don't use the whispernet very much at all, download books from my computer.
I load books to the SD card, and if I'm looking for something to read, I just start at page one and stroll thru the 24 pages, one at a time.
Once I actually do get enough books to slow it down, I"ll just load the SD card with the ones 'for later,', and remove it. I'll keep it in the little pouch in my m-edge cover, and still have all my books with me!
I guess I have issues..............
400 books? PAH! lightweights!
