While I like to keep a couple thousand books on my ereaders.
I almost never used email/Send-to-Kindle, precisely because I like to load a lot of books at once. Sending 50, 100 or more books via Amazon was a major pain; loading them via USB was much faster. So my Kindles were almost always offline.
I finally gave up on Kindles entirely because I didn't like the direction Amazon was taking them. That was before the vanishing books bug was introduced. There is a very remote possibility I might buy a Kindle again in the future, should some really attractive hardware be released, but unless Amazon fixes the various bugs introduced in recent years (disappearing books, reverting custom fonts and so on), the possibility will be very remote indeed.
