I think this problem is related to the FAT system on the memory card.
I don't know the figures offhand but I thought you could only have 512 files on the root for a FAT 16 system.
If you put your files into folders you can store many more.
I also think the file names will affect the number of files that can be read.
Long file names = less files read.

I don't have a Sony Reader so I don't know if it can read FAT32 which does not have the limitations of FAT 16.
