It depends - I voted for keeping everything, but it does vary by device. On the 2 tablets, everything - in both .lit and Mobipocket. Also a shedload of PDF's. On the Sony 505 - everything (at least all I have downloaded or converted so far). About 400 books at present. I was deleting read stuff - but it all fits, with space to spare, so why not keep it. It does take a while to get going after a sync - but I can live with that as it is normally loaded and ready to go.
PDA's - a subset. On the Windows Mobiles and Palms, it takes time to load a Mobipocket or MSReader library if you have much more than a hundred odd files. Especially from SD cards. In the case of the iPod Touch - just a few files - something to read when I am in a queue at the bank or chemist.
The 505 has most of the main books that I browse (textbooks and Sci-Fi magazines - and some authors) in collections.
Of course, I have the master collections on my big desktop and on the NAS disk on the house LAN. Plus some big CD-ROM collections (about 10K books) not all of which I will read - but I know they are available if I ever decide that I need to inhale project gutenberg en masse
