I'm merely curious:

Why would you want 10,000 ebooks on one reader?

Reading 100 ebooks a year would still take you 100 years - assuming you didn't amass more titles. Add that time to your current age and the prospect becomes...well, rather unrealistic. (Of course, if you read 200 ebooks a year, then you might be able to accomplish your task of reading 10,000 ebooks in only 50 years. This is quite reasonable if you're a young person in his or her teens. By that time, though, they might be able to implant the collection inside a person.)

Of course, you may want them on your Reader just to know that you have 10,000 ebooks, and that if you wish to look at them you can do so.

I recognize that a desire to actually read these books might not be of paramount importance, and that another reason may be a motivating factor, sort of like collecting stamps. (I did this as a youngster, so I can fully empathize with that kind of thinking, if that's the case.)

Have you considered putting your collection into calibre? If not, you may wish to consider that as a more viable alternative.
