I have 170 unread books on my 505. I've asked him how many of those books he thinks he can read while waiting for a flight. The "funny" thing is that he flies once or twice a year, so is rarely at an airport. But at 27, he is part of the "got to have it" generation.
I totally agree with you, Richard. I have something like 300 books on my CyBook Gen3 at the moment, many of them multi-book anthologies. That's at least 5 years reading for me, probably more like 10 years. For anyone with an eBook reader to claim that they might find themselves short of reading matter seems faintly ridiculous to me.
