Even though Amazon says it can handle 3GB of books or around 3,000, my experience shows this would pretty much grind it to a halt!
I have found exactly the same thing mine also take about 30 second when I call up the home page and in total about 1 minute or more to move a book to a specific collection. I have just over 1000 books on mine and because the slow speed of doing anything other than reading a book I am seriously thinking of taking most of them off and only leave a hundred or so on it.
