I doubt that many people would read more than a hundred books if they went on vacation for a year, which the Kobo can handle reasonably well. Some people are talking about storing thousands of books on their device. That's not a vacation without Internet access. That's retirement without Internet access!

I've got ~1650 books on my Aura at this time. It's not that I am going to read all of those books in the next month or two -- even I don't read that fast. However, I do like to read a mix of old and new books. Often after reading a new book, I'll go back and reread other books by the same author or books that I think have similar themes so it's convenient to have them easily accessible. If I want more, I can always boot up my laptop and check the rest of my library.
As for retirement without Internet access, going by my current reading statistics, with 1650 books and reading 8 hours per day, I've got about 7 months worth of books. A bit long for a vacation but waayyy too short for retirement.
