Two things:

1. The speed of transfer of files to the Reader is restricted by the fact that it has a USB 1.1 interface, rather than USB 2.

2. The speed of indexing new files is determined by the speed of the Reader's CPU. This is deliberately slow to use minimal power. I think it's a reasonable compromise, personally. I certainly wouldn't like to see battery life halve merely so new books were indexed more quickly - would you?

So no, I'm afraid I honestly can't agree with you that the "OS and firmware is pretty bad" .
