Extremly thin and it has 500 GB, imagine this in an ebookreader..

500 GB of eBooks? You could probably carry the whole of the Library of Congress with you and still have plenty of free space available.

I wouldn't want any moveable parts on my eReader. It may be thin as a piece of paper, and it may have shock sensors, but it is still mechanical and prone to failure if you accidently drop the device while accessing the disk.
