So far I haven't found any slowdown OR crashes....I do, however, plug it in about ever other night to charge while I sleep....I don't use the whispernet very much at all, download books from my computer. I load books to the SD card, and if I'm looking for something to read, I just start at page one and stroll thru the 24 pages, one at a time. Once I actually do get enough books to slow it down, I"ll just load the SD card with the ones 'for later,', and remove it. I'll keep it in the little pouch in my m-edge cover, and still have all my books with me! I guess I have issues.............. 400 books? PAH! lightweights! |

I've got to believe the Kindle 2's software will support folders or minimally tagging so you can set the home screen to display just about whatever you want.
Also, as far as the memory concerns go, according to the original BGR post with the first shots of the K2, they mentioned the device listed 1403MB free, which ends up being about 9(?) times as much as the K1. The average book from Amazon seems to be about 600KB, so you are talking over 2000 books worth of storage, plenty of space if you ask me. |

Then, if what you say is true, what if I want more than 2000 books? Regardless of the reason, I should be able to insert a memory card and have as many as I choose, not Amazon. |

Like some others, I don't use an SD card because I remove books once I've read them.
The SD card in Kindle 1 was not easily accessible. Making it easily accessible would be my first choice. If not, then I'd rather have the additional memory built on board rather than use an SD card. So I don't see see having more built in memory versus an SD card as a compromise between the Kindle 1 and Kindle 2. |

I delete books as soon as I've read them unless I've put in bookmarks and need to go correct something.

I'm with you, DG. I would not buy a reader that did not have separate storage, no matter how much internal storage it had. Call me stubborn and unreasonable if you must, but there it is. |
