The same can apply to an ereader. I doubt people expect to read say 4k in books, but it's nice to have your whole library with you because who knows what book you'll want to read or will need to reference.

Let us not forget, pbooks have to be stored
somewhere. ebooks can go on the hard drive.
I can have a couple thousand books on my Kindle at one time. If I cannot find a book I REALLY want to read,... then having extra storage is probably not going to help. That is a slippery slope that will lead you to archive the Internet, Just In Case.
Note: Thus far, I hve never failed to find something I wanted to read among my 180-item TBR (current) and 800-favorites emergency reserve.

Let's also not forget other media which can be stored like audio books and such, which take up a lot more space.

An ereader is not an MP3 player, stop pressuring it into acting like one.

As for Kindles being mentioned before... I don't like them for reasons other than SD card support, like the sub-par range of supported file types.

to converting with calibre. I have never had a conversion sour on me unless there was something deeply wrong with the original.
