i read a thread how some poor soul put 2 or 3 thousand books on to a kobo mini and it just became a paper weight prone to freezing,etc.

i tried it also.

it was freezing constantly.

this proves linux is just as rubbish as windows when handling large number of files.

also the programmers are a bit stupid as well as the kobo should be working from a master index file table only and rendering the actual file only when it is actually called for.

dumb programmers.

-------------------------

anyway.

i deleted all mobi/epub files in kobo folders.

what i did was just SIDE LOAD RTF AND DOC AND TEXT files only.



i also deleted all image files and dict files and already parsed files from the kobo folders.

i.e a clean slate.

then dumped the rtf,txt,,doc files in the kobo mini.

and voila! i have 4993 text,rtf,doc books in my kobo mini and it does NOT FREEZE anymore.

this is not for people who want to look at book covers ,etc.

i suppose you could put a small number of mobi/epub files as well like 100 but AFTER a 100 books IT WILL START TO SLOW DOWN as others have testified and start to freeze.

what do you think?
