"That's room for 1,500 books," Tritschler said, noting that any book a Kindle user buys is backed up on Amazon's servers -- and is available to the reader at any time. "There's no need for additional storage."

This reminds me of another quote "640k should be enough for anyone". Granted that quote was never really said by Gates. But, the above quote is going to come back and bite him.

How many audible books do you think you can fit in 1.4G? Also, you can't add your own stuff to the Media library. Now, if they allowed for that it would be a much different story.
