I have one reader that I use as a book repository, but even at that it contains only a portion of my library, all sideloaded to an SD card. Wifi is never enabled. Since I also have stopped backing up books, most of my Amazon books aren't on it and no purchases from Kobo in the past three or four years are on it. I let them download directly to my "reading" devices.
My workhorse reader, the Aura One, always has from 200 to 250 books on it, so I have a range of choices when I'm looking for something to read. My other two reading devices have fewer books, mostly have just direct downloads from Kobo, since they tend not to be at hand whenever I'm sideloading which is infrequent these days anyway. Once I finish a book, I delete it.
The repository is for handy access to any book I happen to think of, but I don't want several hundred much less thousands of books on the readers I regularly read on. They don't all have equal appeal and why have to browse 'em all when I'm looking for my next read?
