OK a few things here.
1. With any eBook reader you can only store on the device as much as the device will hold. That seems to be a given. However, you can expand the capacity with SD memory cards. A 2GB memory card will hold several thousand books.
2. One thing you might have heard is that you can only d/l from whispernet to the internal memory not the SD card. So, if you don't have room, yes you will need to make some. You can move books from main memory to the SD card with content manager on the Kindle. Or plug it into your PC and manage it with Windows Explorer/Finder. Or if you don't have more room (SD card) just delete the book. But that doesn't mean it is gone... see 4 below.
3. Yes, you can move the ebook files to your PC. But, you will not be able to read them there.
4. Everything you buy from the Kindle store is saved by Amazon in your Media Library. You can access this library from your PC or from your Kindle w/ whisper net and redownload and books at any time.
