I used to have copies of all my older workfiles and workfiles for the company on my home system but I burned them onto 8 DVDs. Yep, that is a lot of files, but some professions are like that.
There are some people & professions that will tend toward VERY high amounts of documents. Having swappable SD cards is high on my list for some unknown reason

The Kindle, Nook and most other eReaders were designed primarily to read novels. Yes, you can do a few other things with them too, but I think no one pretends that they are very good at anything other than reading novels.
For the same reason I don't use a screwdriver to hammer in nails, I wouldn't use an eReader for storing many GBs of text for "research work" let alone for actually creating anything. For this I would use a tool like a laptop with a good screen - a Qi if possible - where I could create content, view many open files at once in any number of differing formats and have many storage and search options available to me.
