IMHO, having a big library of novels and fiction stuff in your reader, if it not for consultancy, is a waste of battery and time. Battery because the files needs to be scanned by the library program, indexed, and so, and time because your reader will be waaaay faster with a lot of less books, not talking the time you will need to find the book you want (even with the search capacity).

I quite respectfully disagree. My battery life hasn't suffered at all, since the indexing so far hasn't taken excessively long, plus I can select and read whatever I want until I refresh the library after adding more books.
EDIT: I should add,I usually let it complete it's initial library scan while still connected to my computer.
My reader has no need to be *fast* since I can only read words and turn pages so quickly. Also, my base OS functionality of the reader doesn't seem to suffer slowness based on number of books.

You don't want to know how many I have on my NAS. I'm looking forward to reaching 60k ebooks on my reader.

That's cool, enjoy. Myself, I'm interesting in a reader that can handle large amounts of storage and books with a functional interface. So far, I'm happy with Onyx.
