I can sympathize with Azhad -- I, too, wanted to carry my entire library with me because I can never know what I want to read next. But I was able to compromise, keeping some permanent authors such as Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and a few others on the internal memory of my 500 and I have placed some larger book files (mostly music books either converted entirely from PDFs at GoogleBooks or from html files at PG) on my memory stick.
I think the idea of the collection of smaller cards is a wonderful way to have the entire library available more easily.
Perhaps when Sony releases the 510 (don't jump on this suggestion and start looking on-line for it, it's just my guess about what the next model number will be) they will build a bigger memory cache into the thing with a permanent and large spot in non-volatile memory in which to store the library file listing all the books and collections, to speed up the processing of larger collections.
It seems silly to me to increase the potential add-on memory capacity to a total of 10GB and not to increase the ability to quickly and easily process the sorts of libraries which can be stored on such memory capacity.
I look forward to the day when I can carry the equivalent of the entire PG libary with me without a tag-along case of memory cards and be able easily to select the next book to read on the spur of the moment without having to plan in January what I'll want to be reading in December.
