But idea of a large on device collection of books works for extended trips, long hiking vacations, where you know your eink device would have enough charge, but would not have internet access.
A long trip or hiking vacation, even 100 books is going to take very long trip or hiking vacation even if you are strolling along the hiking trail with your nose buried in your Kobo.

Perhaps an idea for the next Kobo commercial -- a couple walking along a hiking trail, beautiful scenery (mountains with snow on them, lakes, trees, wild flowers), various animals (big horn sheep, mountain goats, bears, deer, moose, etc.) popping in and out of view and the two of them with their noses buried in their ereaders totally oblivious to the beauty around them.

The reason that came to mind was a hiking trip near Banff where one couple was so engrossed in their guidebook that they never looked around at the real world.
