That will have an effect on your battery life too, but mostly it's just slow to wait for.
For me, I've found that I prefer to just wait the time that it takes to xfr the files into internal memory. Since I'm rarely moving more than a few files at a time, I don't find the speed to be a burden, I don't have to worry about losing my bookmarks that way, and I get to use collections, which are a particular boon to me.
If you're happy with what you're doing, though, don't let me talk you out of it.

Hmm.. the last time I've thrown in a couple of manga in the readers internal memory, the reader still needs to parse it when opening. But then again, these are generally small manga of around 100 pages and 10MB in size, compared to the 200MB 3000+ pages on my card, it's of course nothing.
So I'm wondering if the connect-software actually preparse stuff.
But then again, parsing and indexing only needs to be done once, so...
