Yup. That's what I do. Load a few books at a time to device then remove them after reading them before loading any more books. The only time I might load more than a few is just before a trip out of town, but that isn't really necessary. While traveling, from content server I can download anything to device from calibre library at home.
I'm of the same mind. Part of the issue is my determination not to go singularly on any series. Well, anything more than three books. I very diligently switch genres with each reading experience. I don't have a set pattern. It doesn't always go Mystery, Sci-Fi, Non-Fiction, Thriller, Humour/Sports Slot, repeat rinse and cycle again. But that's close to what turns up. I also try to follow something gut-wrenching with something in a funny vein. As long as I have a half-dozen books of each genre (sorted by desirability, genre, author and then series/series Index) then my Kindle is fully equipped. It won't stand up necessarily to my being kidnapped by gangsters and held for ransom. But I suspect the charge will run out long before somebody ransoms me anyways
