Like, for instance, the Catholic Encyclopedia, which (by itself) is 70 Megs (13 volumes of dense print in hardback form).

Your encyclopedia example is the epitome of a fringe case, cubed.
That is what tablets are for, the same way they are also for PDFs.
Me, I can have over three thousand books on my Kindle, including my extensive TBR as well as many hundreds of old favorites, and still have oodles of miscellany Just In Case... all on the builtin storage. Expandable memory is useful for bragging rights ("I have over 300,000 books on my ereader, look at me"), manga/comics for which I joyfully concede the point, and encyclopedia fetishists.
