Great idea.

but imo for some people this will be like MD vs iPod

MD is great, but it can only store so much music. to have more, u'd have to carry tens or hundreds of MDs. for some/many people, this is too much hassle in the digital world.

iPod is great because it can store thousands of music in a small device, without the bother to change cds/MDs.

so to have 1000 books in 1000 SDcards is just not as convenient to have 1000 books in one memory card. (while convenience is one major sell point for ebooks; and in direct comparison: mp3s)
