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.

Yes, I archive my books on my computer. Computers are made for this purpose and I've successfully transferred those files from one laptop to another. (Although, I probably should get around to copying them to an external backup before disaster strikes.
)
And you're right. I don't need all that room on the reader. Before going on vacation, I make sure I have enough reading material. For me one book per week is plenty. When I'm away, for vacation or business, I'm busy doing other things and not reading much.
I should also mention that I read a lot of books from the elibrary. Over the last 12 months, 50% of my reading has been from the library. I anticipate that's it's going to be even higher in the next 12 months.
