I have almost that much just in fanfic, which I'm not even loading that on it. I have a ton of ebooks. And I'm being picky on what ebooks I'm putting on my 32gig paperwhite I just got.
The thing with the paperwhite, it takes forever to sideload, in small chunks, so I spent two weeks on and off loading it and waiting for it to index. So I'm not going to fill the space at that rate anyway. But I also wanted some audiobooks on there as well. And while the kindle reserves some of that space for it's program, I'm not convinced it'll use it wisely, and not bump off some more space now and again for other files it wants to keep.
So, I'm putting a huge amount on it, but not really planning to fill it up. But it's a lot more than 8gig.
I always max out all my devices. I've never regretted it, and only regretted NOT doing so. Because that's the way I roll. But as well as having my library to hand, I consider it a backup copy. The internet goes down, and my computer gets lost, I still have a huge chunk of my stash that I can also get off of it, if I need to. I don't need a USB storage if the reader can store the same stuff.
All in all, I love the Boox Onyx Nova2 so much more, but for playing with and tossing it in my purse, the kindle is just a toy that I do enjoy reading off of.
