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.
Some ebooks (with lots of illustrations) are significantly larger than 500K.

Some people use their Kindle for music & audiobooks, which can take up a good bit of space.

Without better library management features in the firmware, some people may choose to keep a collection of SD cards that they can swap in and out, each with a specific subset of their collection.

I personally would likely be OK with the internal memory of the Kindle 2, but my needs are not everyone's.
