Yeah my average size falls out around 600KB. Current total library is about 150 books on my Nook, about 130 of them in main memory, 2 of them purchased through BN and residing in the reserved space, 20 of them on the micro SD card and about 9MB of wallpaper images sideloaded. Total free space is spot on 150MB of the 246MB available.

It annoys me that so much of the space is reserved for only BN content, but since my total library is maybe only 250 books, they should all fit in main memory if I really wanted to (to avoid lossing shelved books, sigh). I mostly got the micro SD card (4GB) so that I would "never run out of space" and to give PDFs a try. My iPad 2 is significantly better, but if I ever needed to, in a pinch and poorly it will work with some my PDFs (RPG books, which range from around 12MB up to 80MB each, so main memory basically isn't an option).
