No, not at all. Let's look at the figures more carefully. On my T68 I have 4275 books, occupying 3.67GB of storage. That's an average of 900k per book. The typical ebook is a lot smaller than that - around 400k or so. The average is pushed up by a small number of large books, such as the 12 book "Flashman" omnibus, which is 6MB in size. The ePub and Mobi versions of the books are pretty much the same size.
