Based on your description, the index files must be taking up perhaps 100MB or more. In other words, about 10% of the total. Although I suppose it is possible that two copies of these files are needed while indexing.

One reason for Amazon to exclude removable storage from the K2 might be the overhead of indexing 8GB (say) of ebooks.
