My observation is that there's no difference between card and reader as far as transfer speed, page turns or formatting books goes. Personally, I use it to help with book management.
All of my unread books get loaded to the card, with author as the first folder and series as a subfolder. After I read a book, I move it to the reader if I want to be able to read it again and then I delete if from the card. In this way, I only have unread books on the card. Please note that I use the LBook firmware, which supports copying and deleting books directly from the reader, so I can do this step without connecting to a computer. When the book is moved to the reader, the folder structure goes with it, so it is automatically where I want it to be permanently stored. I don't believe that the Astak firmware supports this feature at this time.
Calibre does the folder creation for me automatically and I tag all unread books in Calibre as unread so I can easily find and convert them. It sounds sort of complicated, but it's easy once it's set up.
