Of course every one can dispute their claims but what are the real intents behind hording. Are there people masquerading behind other pretences to appear serious? That is the basis of this discussion.
When I first got the 500 I started preparing loads of books, put them on a 2GB card and started showing off to any interested sucker. It was a good sell though. After awhile it felt ludicrous. The cross referencing I thought was my basis for doing so was so labor intensive and hard to do that I gave up on it. And then I had less and less time to play with the books which obviously I stole from actually reading.
A book takes me from 6 to 20 hours to read during which I may use the computer about 50 times. Why should I keep so many books on the device if I can change them anytime I want. It's just like having 20 freezers in the house for the moment I'd need that special meal I'd fancy at what particular time.
Still do remember that most devices are slaves to a computer for everything other than actually simplyreading.
