I must disagree sort of. 4GB is usually enough. But to say you get 2000+ books is wrong. 4GB is the total storage and some of that is USE for the system software. So you may get 3.5GB (or so) of storage. Also, I've gone a test recently and with a randomly chosen set of eBooks to fill 1GB, I got less than 100 in one test and less than 200 in others. A lot of eBooks these days use a high resolution cover & title page. Also, some have embedded fonts to go with an advertising page (Penguin/Random House does this for one) as well as graphics to advertise some of the author's other books. So the average size is increasing and you cannot expect to get 2000+ eBooks with a 4GB Reader.
