512MB is over 500 normal sized ebooks
The current crop of ebook readers just aren't very good at handling even a few hundred ebooks (in terms of accessing easily), let along the ten thousand that would fit in 8GB.
I have a 2GB card in my CyBook, with over 2,000 ebooks on it and it's not full yet. I'm really hoping that the next firmware update improves the navigation in the library, because if I did want to read that 2,000th book, it would take me five minutes to page to it.
eBooks don't take up much space compared to music or video.

Why?
