My library contains 7000 paper books. When I travel I may be away for 3-6 weeks at a time, and I do not know what I may feel like reading while I am gone. Even more I do not know what I may want to look up in a book I'm not reading (and I've just realised that there should be a search engine in the firmware).
I presently do as you suggest, but loose SD cards are tiny and easily lost. Putting everything on a card, and the card in the book, is the way to go. (Even better would be an ebook with a 32,000 book [16 GB] internal memory.)
