So I'm just trying to understand the rationale for people who load & keep that many books like yourself, as I've wondered about this sometimes. I've always assumed that for most people who carry this many books, they just have this slightly obsessive urge to always bring their entire collection with them wherever they go without actually reading half or quarter of them in the coming year. But you seem to have practical reasons for doing it.
We are survivalists waiting for the end of the world (as we know it).
If we survive with our Kindles intact and all our books on it, we will have entertainment for the rest of our lives. (charging if fairly trivial)
But try accessing your dropbox cloud after a nuclear EMP blast, or the fall of civilisation from pandemic disease!

Alternatively, like me, you could live in the jungle with access to nothing apart from your Kindle.
