My comic and manga library is about 60GB. I don't recall ever needing to have the whole thing with me. Heck, I don't have even 1/3 of that on my 32GB Aura One.
Cmon now, we all know youre green with envy cause mine is bigger than yours(storage wise). And collection is also around 400-500GB , so bigger than yours twice uptil now, dont make me unzip :P .
Joking aside, ofcourse its an overkill and its more of a want than need, plus the bragging rights . But it has its plus sides, considering the very slow write speeds of the onboard sd card readers of the original h20, saves the hustle of needing to ever connect to pc and wait(more time left for love ) . After the wow effect wears out, i think i will settle with 32GB internall for large book library and 128GB in the external slot for comic books, as its pretty fast taking it out and copying content with a card reader(more than 10 times faster when compared to onboard card reader as 128gb and up have fastest write speeds 90MB/s). That, and koreader not needing to index anything after adding content is a match made in heaven.
As for the $80 tag you assigned to the venture... I suppose you havent checked sd card prices lately, large micro sd cards are pretty cheap nowadays. One of the best cards - Samsung Evo Plus 128GB can be had for around $19 a piece, 64GB ones around $12 and 32gb already hard to justify purchase as its around $8-9.
So how much is convenience really worth?Up to each individual to decide for himself.
