Another downside of such a large library is that when books are added or deleted, it takes around 15m for the library list to fully update with the changes.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend that anyone put so many books on a Kindle. This was very much an experiment to see if it would handle it, and it took me about two weeks to get all the books loaded and indexed (all sideloaded via Calibre). It does handle it, but there are issues, as I've said. Actually reading on it is absolutely fine - no problems at all.

Wow! I’d love to see your book list! I also have to thank you as now I don’t feel like a madwoman with a paltry 1335 books on my Oasis. If it’s not too nosy of me, what’s in that marvelous library? History? Auto/biography? SciFi & Fantasy?
