Assuming a conservative 1.2 gigs of free memory on the PRS-350; and assuming a generous average of 1 Megs per ebook (I see full novels in EPUB as small as 300k and as large as about 2 Megs); then we can expect about 1,200 books to fit on the 350.

Although this would indeed only fulfill a fraction of your requirements, it would most likely be more books than most folks would ever need to carry at one time.

Even with many publishers embedding fonts, which pushes the upper size limit per EPUB up to that higher 2 Megabyte per title range, the PRS-350 would still support a very generous 600 ebook titles, which if you read them at one title a week, would last you approximately 11.5 years.
