It's not "no space at all" but the space they consume is, effectively, insignificant. The average epub must be about 500kb. 5000 of them should take up under 3 gigs. Even on a small laptop hard-drive that's negligible and it easily fits on a USB stick. In comparison, 5000 physical books would present storage challenge.
