Errr... check your math...
By your own statement, assume average 1MB/book then 1.2GB gives 1200 books not 12,000 as 1.2GB=1200MB... and it's not the point about reading them all, it's about having the choice to read what I want when I want... and I'd be unconscious if only reading 1 book/week... I am planning on using a 350 for a specific set of books but would never meet my general needs...

Although this would indeed only fulfill about HALF your requirements, it would most likely be about TEN TIMES as many books as most folks would need.
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 6,000 ebook titles, which if you read them at one title a week, would last you approximately 115 years.  |
