Reading from SD Card

I understand that the Sony PRS-600 is very slow when reading from external memory (SD card or it's proprietary Memory Stick). Since I'm looking into purchasing my first e-reader this is a concern for me.

How is the nook in this regard? If I have, say, 1000 books on an SD card, how long would it take the nook to recognize them?

Also, can the nook display PDFs in landscape mode?

I use an 8gig SD card in one of our nooks - I have not noticed any lag in accessing data on the SD card any more than on the internal nook memory. Currently I use the card mostly to store lots of music that I listen to while reading. But a few docs, too - again, no noticeable difference between internal and SD card reading.

Not sure how long it would take for 1000 books though ;-)
