If this were the case, I wouldn't be considering spending $250 USD to upgrade from the Libra H20 (i.e first gen) with its 6.72 GB available space, which I soon found inadequate (and even 'ungenerous' considering how cheap storage is now).
Some of us:
a) have alot of books and/or large books (eg. pdfs running even to 250 MB)
b) like to dip in and out of books
c) like to read a few different books at once
I really want to have ALL the main books I'm interested in:
a) reading
b) checking out
in one space
And for that I need at least 21GB, based on what I currently have on my Boox Air.
On the other hand, I also know people who only EVER read one book at once and would be happy with 1 GB! Then again, there are people who ONLY like paper books.
It's a very human thing to expect everyone to be like ourselves, but there's a wide variety in the way people do and enjoy things.

My argument is that 8GB is sufficient for the vast number of users when we we're talking specifically about books. If we are only talking about books, by the time one gets over 1000 books or so, the organizational limits inherent to working within an e-readers software classification system becomes inefficient compared to a computer. The increased data requirements of pdf, manga, comics users are unique use cases that don't factor for the average book reader.
