My NOOK Glowlight 3 is a nice piece of hardware, but trying to use it with side-loaded content is getting on my last nerve. I'm about ready to jump ship for a Kobo Clara HD.

Has anyone used the Clara with large numbers of side-loaded epub files? (Say 1,000 plus.) How does it behave? Does having that many files in the memory slow down the performance of the device? Is there a risk that transferring large numbers of files from the PC will corrupt the memory? Does it accomplish the transfer quickly and cleanly? If you use collections (shelves), are they stable when other side-loaded content is added later?

You can tell by the questions what my problems have been with the NOOK. But any feedback about the Clara is welcome, even if it doesn't touch on a specific question.

Thanks in advance!
