For me its hardly useless. First a scanned 350 page book is aprox. 15 MB not 100 with pretty good quality. If its more you are doing something wrong in scanning/compressing (see the content forum, posted recently the script I'm using).

I have now a 1GB MMC Card, that is 66 Books per 15$ card. Hardly useless. I just ordered a 8GB CF card for 60$. It will fit 500 scanned books, or what I'm aiming more for 1 complete Wikipedia and 250 scanned books.
