Libra 2 Storage

DuskyRose · 09-20-2022, 11:27 AM

Jut got a Libra 2 last week, and loving it so far. But, I'm the kind of person who feels like using *all* the space provided on my tech, so push the envelope on my new toys.

I've got a vacation coming up next month, so don't want to sped a lot of time rebooting and reloading in case I overload it before then. But it bugs me not to know.

I know the web site says 24,000 books. (In particular "**1GB = 1 billion bytes. Assumes an approximate size of about 1.3 MB per eBook, and average audiobook length of 6.5 hours with 28.8MB per hour.")

And I know it's not the storage space that's really important, but how large a database the software can handle without chocking up.

Anybody push the limits? Realistically, what number of books can the program handle?

I had ~14,000 books on my Clara HD (internal storage was upgraded to 128GB). It was very noticeably slower on searching, etc. and it took calibre ~2¾ minutes to read the books from the device. My suspicion is that the biggest part of the slowdown was the database being around 900MB which is considerably larger than the internal RAM.

Thanks! That's something to check into.
