The Mrs has a 2GB SD card full of music, books, recipes, audio books, etc. and who knows what the future brings, if the Kindle one day can reads pdf files those can be quite large. The option off keeping stuff on cards and popping them in and out is kind of nice for some people.
The Kindle had expandability and it was taken away, some dude at Amazon decided 1.4 GB is all we need. For many users I'm sure 1.4 is plenty. If we only had never had the memory slot at all

Does anyone here really need more than 2500-3000 eBooks at one time? if you think you do, please tell us why you think you do.
