Wow, that's a lot of books. Can I ask why you need 2,000 books on your device? Do you know how slow it will be to browse that many?

I don't know for sure but you are might be running into a limitation of the card's file system. If it is formatted as FAT (or FAT16) then I believe you can only have 512 entries in the root folder.

Files with 13 or more characters will use 3 (three) or more directory entries, this applies to FAT16 or FAT32
