I regard it as a portable library. That's why I use the Kobo interface and not KOReader. Closest we can get to a Tardis for books.
I'd never read all the the books in a physical library, nor all the books on my Kobo. I think for the kinds of ebooks I have I can store about 18,000 on the Kobo Sage. It doesn't make it any heavier or slower having about 8,000 ebooks (current) than 8 ebooks.
I can search and it uses title, subtitle, author and series. I can browse collections. I can sort by most recent, author, title etc. I can filter by reading, finished or unread.
I probably won't ever read all the paper books I have either, which is maybe about 3,000. I did turn one bedroom into a library after four of the kids left home.
Reading is my main leisure activity. Has been since about age 10.
