That's interesting. I was watching an interview and the guy being interviewed claimed that he knew a guy back in college or something that would literally rip his comics and books in half when he finished reading them. Maybe some sort of "I'm done!" ritual? I have no idea. But interesting, all the same.
If your e-reader has the capacity and you want to take your whole library with you than that is perfectly fine. Just make sure you have the necessary storage space and that you give the machine time to do it's thing. I know that I have the best luck with my 2013 Paperwhite by downloading books one at a time, or just a few at a time. You can literally watch the battery leak away as it indexes the contents of even a few books.
The processors in these puppies are featherweights compared to many tablets and even low end computers, so they need babying. But I know for a fact that the Paperwhite, at least, can handle huge libraries. I also loaded my Kobo Wifi and my Sony PRS-350 with huge libraries a few years back and they handled it perfectly fine, so I imagine any more modern e-reader should be perfectly OK. As backup, I would recommend one of the other solutions.
Happy reading!
