In CC's case, when someone hits a few hundred books, that's when you hit the knee of the value curve and CC comes into its own. At that point there's no longer any way to keep a book inventory on the phone, updated and accurately grouped by author and series, without a software solution.

It was our thought that someone would manage books with calibre, and then use calibre companion to put some books on the device to be read in the next while. In my two years of doing development work on calibre and its device drivers, I have never been able to understand why people want to put more than a month or two of reading material on a device.
My lack of comprehension notwithstanding, people *do* want to put hundreds if not thousands of books on a device. We will do what we can to support that use case.
