What I'd like to do is plug a multi-TB disk into the USB port and have it show up in some way. My library is currently 83 GB!
Ah, topic change detected.

Which are you interested in?
"replacing internal storage" or "using external storage"
We have answers on-site for the second.

Edit:
Probably the easiest would be to mount an NFS export.
Even the initramfs system can do that.

Note, if you mount your external storage in the Kindle:/document/* sub-tree, you may have trouble with the indexer. The indexer has some limits that have caused problems in the past.

The file manager in KOReader should not have any problems, but you may need to enable swap.
Ah, yes, you can use network attached swap with NBD on a Kindle. Examples on-site.
