Excellent example! Same as gas mileage. In an ideal world you can get xyz mileage but in the real world it's something else. Or even battery life of a reader. 2 months if you read only half an hour per day. Sony says you can put a 32gb card in the device & hold thousands of books but as far as I know, no data on specifics of those books nor are there details on how it affects usage of the device.

Not to add to the frustration of those wanting to carry their entire library but I too feel carrying 25,000 is too much. I like choice too but if it's going to bog down my device or take me too long to decide because I have too many to choose from, it's not much use to me. Heck even at a few hundred I have a hard time remembering what books I have. I wouldn't stand a chance at 25,000.
