I understand that there are some voracious readers out there, but I have a hard time believing that there are very many people who can average 10-15 books a week without them being fairly short books, which will therefore average less than the assumed 1MB per book. In fact, most of the novels on my Kobo, which probably average around say 300-400 pages in print, average around just 500-600kB in digital form, so the 1000 books per 1GB of storage seems to be a rather conservative estimate. It could actually be twice as many.

In any case, yes, exceptional people might read several thousand books in their lifetime. I was just pointing out that for all but the most exceptional, a single SD card can probably hold more than one can expect to read in their life.
