I think the best way to use a Kindle, or any ereader, is to keep the book or books you're reading on board along with those you intend to read in the near future. I keep mine down to 20 or 30 books on the device. That makes it faster as well as easier to find what I'm looking for and it helps me remember what everything on the book is.

Also I like to reset to factory defaults every 6 months or so to avoid problems and having just a few books on board makes that a fairly small job.

I'm not trying to be contrary. I'm just trying to offer another way to look at this. The interface on the Kindle as well as the Kobo and the Nook isn't such that it encourages using it as mass storage for books. They're designed as reading devices. I'm sure they have more storage than they need as a marketing ploy. The interface design really isn't about a lot of books.
