Will you be away from a computer for that long that you'll read most of them before you have access to a computer?
It is the same reason I've got a 160Gb iPod Classic, rather than a 16Gb iPod Touch, I want to be able to have enough stuff available right away that I'm never going to think that I really want to read a particular book, but find I don't have it with me. With the iPod it is easier, as I can set up smart playlists to automatically feed me the next X hours of whatever audiobooks I am listening to without taking any action, with the eBook readers it sounds like I'd have to do all of that manually.
I've got the functionality right now, I don't want to have to give it up with a new device.
