And I have the ability to have half of it, if I should so choose... which is more than enough. People need need need the whole thing?
I won't concern myself with that...

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

I don't think any default vendor reading app will or would support that... but have you looked at KOReader? Available for both Kobo and Kindle, it supports OPDS on E-ink devices.

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

Because E-ink ereaders were not designed to do audio
well, and the fact they "can" play music (the older ones at least) is irrelevant.
That is what tablets are for, to be general multimedia devices. I certainly don't go complaining that my MP3 player doesn't display ebooks...
