Some Readers such as Sony Readers are a pain in the ass to try to keep a lot of EBook on because of the way it scans the eBooks.
Kobos and Kindles are not good if you load too many eBooks at once because ball it takes is one eBook with errors to cause a problem.
I don't know how good other brands are at loading a lot of eBooks in one go or managing a lot of eBooks.
Why keep already read eBooks on your Reader? There's really no need. just create a yes/no column in your Calibre library and you can mark what you've already read. And you can also keep track with Goodreads.
I know for some it's done to be able to say you have your entire eBook library with you. For others it's so you can read what you want because it's already loaded. And some don't want to have to connect to the computer just to load the next eBook to read.
For those who do have a rather large amount of eBooks on your Reader, what would you do if you had a Reader such as a Sony where it's very impractical to have all your eBooks with you?
For reading on my iPhone/iPad, I keep some eBooks on Dropbox and get them as I need/want. That keeps the internal storage for other things.
How do you handle a Reader that doesn't have a memory card slot and only so much memory when you get full and have to remove eBooks to add new ones or you just cannot fit your entire library?
I keep enough eBooks on my Reader to be easily manageable. I know there are times when I've finished a book and have decided I want to read a book not on my Reader. But, it also gives me a chance to pick a book that's been on my Reader for some time. I can get to the other book after.
It's not going to make you look cool or more interesting if the only reason you have your entire library with you is to show off that you did it.
I like the idea of a limited amount of books with me so it helps me read older books that might be overlooked.
The only time I leave books I've read on my Reader is if I might want to refer back to it or to correct errors when I'm at the computer.
Which current Readers are lousy for handling a large amount of eBooks?
