See, to me that's irrelevant. Even if iPad mini carried millions of books, I still wouldn't put my ebooks directly onto iPad mini. Why? Because I have several reading devices. The best way to keep your library in sync, is to put the actual files on the cloud, not directly on the reading device. If you do the latter and have more than 1 reading device, you're stuck with the need to manually keep your various libraries in sync. That costs time, and I hate wasting time.

I also hate wasting space. Instead of keeping thousands of copies of all of my books on each of my reading devices, I only keep a single copy of each book in the cloud, downloading a copy of it to this or that reading device on demand.

I'm convinced that's the modern way of files management (not just books, but also movies or work-related "office" files): manage files in the cloud, not locally. A file manager for iOS is, for me, therefore, obsolete, and not needed. Instead, we need a cloud manager; and for this, I recommend the superb free Documents by Readdle app.
