There are files available < 2GB. Not that large in my opinion.
For example:
In German and Mobipocket and TomeRaider:

Several languages and file formats, ready to use (sorry, it's a link to the german version of Wikipedia):

I think it is in the region of 2.5Gb to download the content.

I stand corrected! Thanks for the info. I was more than overzealous in my use of the term "unfeasible"!
In terms of the T1, this does bring up the question of "Apps." I know a video here said no Android, but Engadget says it was
confirmed to be Android-based.

It would be nice to add an app or two if possible, specifically reference-based apps or others which fit the e-Reader motif.
And in answer to why update from a PRS-505, to me the answer is pretty simple:
speed. I love my 505, but it's a dog. You're also getting a generational bump in screen readability.
