Does anyone else have any experience with a large number of books? My goal was to convert and load journal articles for the last 10 years, but the search is useless with that many documents. It seems that the Kindle won't be handling a large number of books without a hardware refresh.

Unlike the Kindle1, you are limited to the space Amazon decided you should have.

The K1 had an SD card slot.......so i can have as many books as I want by either changing out cards, or using a larger one.

Right now I only have just over 800 books loaded......by author. The only thing I've noticed, is that it takes a little longer to come out of its 'sleep' mode.

According to the Kindle page on Amazon, you can

Carry Your Library: Holds up to 1,500 books

The Kindle DX can hold up to 3500 books.
