Slow is ok for me. I have largely avoided to buy DRMed books. My DRM free books on this reader and I use it on the go when i have no other device with me. The Library is displayed as an array of title pages and a short test title. I'm more visually orientated and use the title page to select what I reread next. I have difficulties to remember author and title and if i find something that appeals to me I want the other books near it and in the correct order since the chance is large that i want to read the whole series or more from the same author.

You can do what you want on any Kobo model, but for 1000s of books (and 7" Libra 2 or 8" Sage can maybe manage 18,000 to 22,000 depending on type/size).
If you really want small size, then the Kobo Clara 2E, but the 7" Libra 2 or 8" Sage have page turn buttons (optional use), 32G and the 7" model is that much bigger than older 6" ereaders like the Nook.
KOReader is simple to install on Kobo and no jail-break needed. But you really don't need file based browsing, especially slow with 6,000 ebooks!

Larger format readers are ok if they can reflow the books. I had some older cheap readers that could not reflow the books that had wide margins and were a pain to use. Size wise the more interesting point for me are the overall dimensions. If the reader with a protective cover is larger than 9 inches it does not fit in my backpack.
I would have to test KOReader to see how it fits my needs. I have to see if i can test it on my android tablet. It seems the cover browser plugin could fit my needs even if it seems that it only supports on column.
At the moment i would not like to reorganize my booksif i could avoid it. I did that once when i broke my cybook gen3 and my new cybook did no longer supported only epub not mobi.
