Well that's certainly true, pbooks have never been as portable. Some probably like having their whole library at their fingertips nowadays. Internet can be shoddy at best in some places or extremely expensive.

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 have never failed to find something I wanted to read among my 180-item TBR (current) and 800-favorites emergency reserve.

I have a similar setup for myself that you describe in your sig. I have a Raspberry Pi that I use as a home server running COPS (Calibre OPDS and HTML PHP Server). I have it set up with DDNS, so I have access to my whole library from anywhere I have internet. I don't need an SD card slot myself, but I do need OPDS browsing capabilities on my reader. :P

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

But why not use your main reading device with audio books too if you consume books that way as well?

I have and it's not fun trying to find the setting causing the formatting, etc. to go haywire.
