Based on the size of the fakebooks, it may use more memory and load slower initially. The page rendering/buffering shouldn't be affected after this initial load. I will need to test this out though. If your tablet doesn't have much memory, or isn't running Honeycomb or ICS, I would definitely recommend AGAINST loading multiple books at the same time. Devices running Honeycomb or later have access to much more memory, so they should be able to handle this. One user was kind enough to send me the fakebooks in the mail (they have not arrived yet), and I plan on a) testing out multiple fakebooks loaded at once, and b) splitting up the fakebooks during import, and allowing users to select all the songs they want added to their library from the fakebook. This should make the experience much better.
If you are using a lot of the songs from the fakebooks, I think the best approach currently is to make bookmarks to split up the PDF. Hopefully once I index the books and support importing them and extracting the songs, this won't be such a manual process.
