Thanks, I fixed the bone headed slipped decimal place math error.
I had originally worked out the 10's of thousands of books numbers several months ago in relation to a 16 Gig SDHC card on my 650, and I guess that number just stuck in my head as also applying to the internal memory.
Even after correcting the math, at a rate of two full length novels per week (a pretty fast reading rate for most folks) 600 books would last more than 5 years, after which the fast USB2 port on the 350 would let you load another 5 years worth in about 5 minutes.
I do understand your point about wanting to be able to have a HUGE library and browse to your hearts content, that's why I ALSO opted for expandable SD memory and picked the PRS-650 as my main reader.
If one is willing to be just a little bit more selective however, the little slip-in-your-pocket PRS-350 will still let you carry a very impressive personal library of several hundred or more books around with you.
