I have a number of readers, Kindles, Kobos and Nooks. I rarely have more than 50 books on a reader, with the exception of my Nook Glowlight 3. I keep a lot of books on it. I'm not really sure why but there they are.
Lately I've been doing most of my reading on my phone: about 80% or something like that. I keep a lot of books on it as well. Again, I don't really know why. It has a 128gb micro SD card in it so there's no reason not to.
I do sync my books. I like being able to move from device to device. Again, not good reason. It's just what I like to do.
By the way, there is a way to put books on lots of devices and I have cleared this with Amazon so even though it's technically against their TOS, or at least might be, they have no issue with it. And they do know about it. After I make a backup of my book I send it back to my library as a Kindle doc. Then I can read it on as many devices as I want.
Because Amazon is important to me, I depend on them for a lot, I called them a few years ago and asked their Kindle support about this and they said there was no problem. Then, about 2 years ago, when there were articles about them closing accounts due to abuse, I called them again. This time I got a guy who didn't know the answer so he said he'd check and call me back. He called the next day and said nobody there had any issue with this and that some of their support people do it also. Which, to me, makes it okay. At that time I was mostly reading on Kindles and I had several of them, buying a couple every year, and I'd put all the books I expected to read soon on all of them and that became a problem and this was how I solved that.
Another thing I've always done till this latest Paperwhite model is buy the 3G versions. So my entire library is always available to me wherever I might be. With the new Paperwhite I bought one with 3G, 4G now, and when they went on sale I bought a couple with just Wifi. But still most of my Kindles do have 3G/4G.
