A lot of times when I go on vacation, I don't actually have that much access to Wifi, so if I am not sure of what I might want to read, having a lot of eBooks with me would give me more choice of what to read as I would not be able to connect to home, grab some eBook and read. Also, my computer at home will be turned off so even if I had WiFi, it wouldn't do me any good to connect to home.

Wow, it's almost like I didn't preempt you by two weeks:

My dollars, my choice. Fortunately, Kobo and others understand the value of actually caring about their customers.
That's why I'm saying "good riddance" to Kindle e-ink hardware.

I agree with you... except for the part where I do that with the Kindle, which can hold ~3500 books, a number of which I am reading simultaneously.
Good riddance to FUD. |
I have enough books on my Kindle to cover myself in the exact case you suggested, and others have before you (including myself, because this was indeed a consideration of mine and I am happy to say ereaders in general passed with flying colors) and to do so for months of indecision without an internet connection.
P.S. If you are worried about your computer being off and you want to download your books from elsewhere over WiFi -- see my sig.
Can't help you if you don't have WiFi, but fortunately that is getting rarer.
