Exactly.

Ebooks also seem to have got much larger lately. I've bought some books by Patrick Modiano and despite being rather short novels they all have about 4 MB, a German translation of Charles Dickens' Christmas story has even almost 20 MB. With ebook-sizes like this, built in memory can fill up quickly.

Anyway, I just love the luxury of having a massive library with me. Travelling home from a business meeting in the afternoon, looking forward to a couple of hours on the train. A quiet compartment with a comfortable seat, the scenery glides by, the steward brings a cold beer, I peruse the collection on my reader like strolling through a library, until I "discover" a book that wakes my interest and start to read. No hassle with any internet connections. That's a luxury I enjoy.
