I still have a few such data sets somewhere.
When having my Pocket PCs, I bought a few CDs with PD books.
But in the case of my friends, it's the big and recent authors, such as James Patterson, Stephen King, Umberto Eco and so on - definitely (mostly) no PD.
20.000 or 30.000 may seem a lot.
But what some say about managing their library on a book-by-book basis is true for downloads as well.
If you know where to look (I've checked those sources, but I don't bother since I wouldn't touch them and later sideload them anyway), you easily can download a few hundred titles in a single instance almost every day. After a month, you easily can have 20.000+ books...
