You can get a 2 Terabyte external hard drive to hold you electronic books at Shopkiller.com for $89.94 with free shipping. You need to understand just how big 2 terabytes are - 2 terabytes could hold more electronic books then you could possibly read for the rest of your life, if an infant born today picked up an electornic book reader and electronic books and started reading 24x7x365 there is no way that infant would finish all of the books on that dirve in that infant's life time and that includes no sleeping and/or eating.

The reason that I am trying to limit the growth of the to be read stack in not shear volume of books, its that with each additional book that I add to the stack it gets harder to crate a strategy on how to read all of them. Two or three are easy to figure out a reading strategy, fifteen to twenty are a tad harder but 2 terabytes worth, I don't know where to start.
