I have maybe a dozen books in there just now and (apart from the wee hiccup earlier this week; which I susect was caused by a bungled download on my part), it performs beautifully and at lightning speed.
Just been reading in another thread here someone complaining about long opening time on a Sony 300 after downloading several thousand books. Someone else said he had 'only' 980 books in his. Took great self-control not to add a post simply asking 'why?' Seems potty to me.

No nned to be quite so conservative. I've been keeping about 100-120 books on my 505 for a long time now, without a hitch. (It's my reading list for the foreseeable future; I delete books I've read, and occasionally add some. At least I did; my gf is taking over the 505 now that I have a 300.)
You clearly have more self-control than I do.
Several times here I've asked people
WHY they insist on loading many hundreds, if not thousands, of books on their Reader and in memory cards.
There's no need to load books that you don't plan on reading any time soon. Archiving is better done on a less-portable pc or at-home hard drive anyway.
