Does kobo become slower with too many books

vugtitan · 01-02-2012, 01:02 PM

as everyone knows the kindle becomes slower and slower as more and more books are loaded and is prone to freezing/rebooting/clunkiness,etc.due to too mny books.

question is the kobo the same?

i understand that in the basic version below for £67 from asda you can insert a sd memory card up to 32gb.

the question has anyone here loaded 4000 to 10000 books and observed its performance such as freezing/rebooting/clunkiness,slow performance,etc?

do it slow down does it the same.

is there any difference between accessing books from sd card or from the on board 1gb storage such as freezing/rebooting/clunkiness,slow performance,etc?

is it slowed down at all?

does it have folders support or is it just have collections/tag system as in the kindle?

While you COULD use an SD card there are ongoing issues with Kobo and SD cards.... See other thread.

Do you really need 4000+ plus books on your eReader?
