However, without physical page turn buttons and so little storage, I can't justify the walled garden approach to book formats. It's a shame, because I do love the Amazon customer 'experience'.
I never came close to filling 4GB (except when playing with audiobooks) but I am a little concerned now that it is effectively only about 1.2GB. I don't keep most books on my Kindle once I've read them, but I have a big backlog of unread books, not sure they'll all fit. If they're in Archived Items (including personal document storage) there is no way to know which are unread. My lazy but effective 'organizing system' may no longer work.

[UPDATE] Just checked: I'll be okay with 2GB less storage, at least for now. With about 400KB to spare.
