I keep my e-library on my reader. Around 3500 book at the latest count. My music player has around 6000 tracks.
First, a side comment. There is no reason why one could not keep a large library on a e-reader. It's a matter of hardware and firmware design. My old Hanlin V3 had no problems up to the limit of a straight SD (2 GB) chip. Simple folder nesting works fine. However, companyies wanting to keep their customers inside a "walled garden" deliberately block their hardware/firmware to make it harder to do so.
Personally I like to have my entire digital world in my "go" bag. If I get the wild hare to go to some strange place, grab the "go" bag and boogie! (or there is a fire, grab the go bag on the way out.)
I don't believe in using the "cloud". it's none of the marketer's business to watch what I read or listen to.
But I'm a paranoid old geezer. . .
