Current Kindles are not stuck with Mobi. They can handle KF8 and KFX. KF8 is Amazon's ePub like format (in terms of coding).

I side load a lot of content, and the 1 gig isn't going to be a problem for me. Hell, having half of that on my ST was never a problem. The device just isn't going to keep up trying to index over a gig of books. Heh, when my friend stuck a 4 gig SD card full of books into his ST, the OS crapped itself. I ended up just using the SD card I bought for my Nook ST for something else, so lack of a microSD on the 3 doesn't mean anything to me either.

I did some random tests and I got a result that said I could only side load 63 eBooks. The size of ePub is increasing with things like hi-res covers, hi-res title pages, embedded fonts and maybe other graphics. I've seen some ePub that are around 400MB. How many eBooks would be enough?
