Obviously not. But some people want to carry more than 1,000 books around with them, so why shouldn't they?

I must admit that if I could get an ebook reader that fully integrated with calibre (i.e. changes to either synced, and also allowed custom metadata like calibre does), and had the quick search and sorting capabilities of calibre, I'd rather like to have my whole library on my ebook reader too.

I only have a subset of my library on my reader - the 40 or so books that are next on my TBR list. It would be nice to have the lot, in case I want to look something up in one of the others, or to show someone something, or just to re-read something when something makes me think of a particular book.

Ebook readers are certainly not perfect yet, and not being able to easily handle a library of tens of thousands of books is one of the things that they lack so far.
