"I would like to hear one really valid excuse for needing 500+ eBooks available at one time."

Personally I think that's the point in having a library. I have thousands upon thousands of real books on the shelves in my home. I'm always picking up things people recommend and that I find interesting. It does not mean I'm going to read them today or this weekend, but when the mood hits at 10 pm on a Saturday night, you have the book to read. Barnes and Noble is closed, Amazon is 3 days away, but it you have it on a shelf, you pull it and begin reading.
I think ebooks are no different. You can build a collection the same way and have things at hand when you want them. The current problem as we know with this generation of technology has to do with the managing of all that information.
Smaller cards may be a better option and might perhaps be easier to organize. I'd hate to have my entire collection on one card, only to find out the card was bad one day upon turing on my reader. You might have it all backed up on your computer, but that's no help if you are on a trip and your backup is 2000 miles away.
