My 10th gen Oasis started misbehaving - random re-boots, refusing to wake up, unreliable & slow response to button presses and screen taps. I had over 2000 books loaded, from various sources, all side-loaded via Calibre.
I decided it was time to start again, removed everything and reset the device. I re-loaded just a couple of hundred books - unread and current interest and adding new ones as and when. The device now performs faultlessly.
My previous reader, kindle paperwhite, had similar issues when crammed full of books. I know these devices have the memory capacity to store enormous numbers of books, but they're much happier not filled to the brim, and much easier to browse and navigate.
I really don't need to carry my entire library on my reader. They're all safe and sound on the laptop and backed up elsewhere, and easy enough to transfer when required.
