When I got my first ereader I wanted to keep every book I owned on it. When I hit around 1200 books, I noticed that all reader functions in general slowed down and quite a bit as to make it very noticeable, and very annoying.
I realized how silly it was to insist on carrying around every single book I owned with me at all times and got over that obsession. I now stick to between 300-400 books at most on the reader at any time, deleting books after I've read them. I have my entire book collection backed up on 2 PCs as well as in cloud storage, so there's no chance of losing them, and 300 gives me enough of a variety to load so I'll always have something to read that strikes the mood at any time. And with cloud storage, in case I absolutely must have a book not on the reader at any moment, I can download it.
I don't know of any reader that won't slow down considerably when adding an excessive amount of books. Even if it could complete the task of indexing 25,000 books, all reader functions would also slow down considerably. Yes, they all claim they can hold an enormous number of books, but the reality of using a reader with that many books in its memory make you realize it's best to never do it.
