Rather different from my experience. I currently have over 8000 books on my Clara HD and finding an individual book is fast. Just start typing the title, author or series into the search field and watch the results populate as you type. Tap on the result you want and bob's your uncle. Admittedly, I don't use collections -- when you need either hundreds of collections or collections with hundreds of books, they are not all that useful.

There is noticeable hesitation when the database is updated but perhaps having a 643MB+ database on a device with 512MB of RAM was not the greatest idea. If I reduce the number of book to shrink the database, the hesitation seems to become unnoticeable but I didn't pop a 32GB uSD card into my Clara HD not to use the space.

Now if you are browsing through the libary 5 books per page, that does get slow and painful. That's why they invented search.
