Personally I've never had that problem with either. I only add what I read, as it were, and even reading three books a week for a year that's barely half the internal storage.

I think what we need is a program, PC side, that converts any eBook file to a properly formatted PDF. That way we can make full use of annotations, zoom etc.
I think the reason I have problems is that I'm reading a lot of short stories and I don't delete because I reread some of these stories and just like to have options. I'm hoping at some point they figure out how to make the indexing process faster. It sounds like it's come a bit of a ways though.

not sure if pdfs would make a difference because it's not the size or file type it's just that the device is indexing every title on the device I think and that's what takes up time.
