You may be a "real" reader but Amazon wants people who will actually buy books from their store, not carry around 2,000+ books on multiple SD cards. What is the draw of having that many books on hand? Do you bounce around from book to book depending on how you feel?
I agree. I only keep the books I haven't read on my Kindle, usually 10 to 20 out of 100's I have backed up on my computer. I did use the SD card for audiobooks, but I only have 1 or 2 on it at a time so the lack of SD won't bother me. The internal memory has been increased from 200 mb to 2 gb, that should be sufficient for most people.

Nice avatar.
