Keep in mind, though... the Kindle doesn't read PDFs. It can take a pdf that has been OCR'd and convert it... and then a 800 page two column encyclopedia is about 4mb.
A huge amount of storage isn't really needed. Handy, but not necessary given the very small size of ebooks and the ability to get files off the device. Right now the poor organization abilities of the Kindle would make 8 gbs of ebooks almost un-navigable. I have 4 pages of content right now and I'm finding it a pain in the butt.

I'm totally with you on the text books, gladtobeamom!!! 8x10 won't happen anytime soon, obviously, but I can't wait till more textbook creators get on board. I'm using every text book I have in my Kindle right now and it's great (and my syllabi!) Unfortunately, for technical type books the publishers would have to create the versions needed to accommodate the graphical data appropriately and really spend some time tweaking it for the Kindle.
But as a Religious Studies student, I'm in the clear!
