I don't understand why people put over a thousand books on a slow-mo device. Even if you read a book a day that is three years worth of books. You are not going to be able to do any serious research with such a processor challenged device that sucks big time at highlighting and taking notes. Seems like it makes way more sense to keep the number of books down to a few dozen or less. Heck, I seriously doubt you will ever read all of those books, and if you do it will take longer to do so than that Kindle will last.
