The chances of that happening are infintesimal, looking at the number of books I do have on the device.
In the end I think I'll get used to it and probably won't buy a Forma or Aura One LE. It is silly to spend so much money just to have 1660 books instead of 1600. Though I very much like some of the Forma's specs!

While I upgraded my Clara HD to a 32GB uSD card and keep most of my library on it, I still do most of my reading on my KA1. Given access to WiFi and a calibre server NATted to the Internet, I can call home and grab a book if I run out. Possibly not quite as good as the Amazon or Tolino clouds but serves my purposes and the books are all cleaned up, error checked, good covers/metadata and all the other bits and pieces I want.

As for book size, I do seem to remember when the Nook Glowlight 3 was released with an 1GB user partition, there were arguments over whether that was sufficient. I remember mentioning out the 4 largest cooking-related ebooks in my collection would fill that space.
Edit: Just checked and currently, the 4 largest ebooks are 367MB, 322.6MB, 260.1MB and 240MB so would need 1.17GB now.
