The question is how much storage space is 'enough'? For me, 3.5-4GB seems to be the sweet spot.
I love having access to so many books, and it is not a problem with the improvements in the latest F/Ws. My rule of thumb would be to leave at least the equivalent of the database free, but otherwise to add at will. Of course if it becomes a problem, as it used to, I'll start pruning.
But I reread quite a lot, especially when tired (my comfort blanket), and I have catalogs on the reader to help find my next reads. And I do eliminate from the device books I can't see myself rereading or referencing.
