With the price of hardware these days, maybe it is time to re-evaluate static linking. Ugly as hell, but bulletproof solution for packaging self-contained binaries.

Back to the size of flash on our readers, I immediately bought SD card to go with my 505. A few weeks later, the conclusion was that the number of books is bigger concern than their size. At least it is for me, with the current software.

Bookshelf/library implementation is decent, but lack of hierarchical (folder) structure makes it cumbersome to list, sort and search more than 50 or so books on the device. Now my SD card acts as backup device for the books that I already read, and stays away from the slot (faster start). Internal memory, even with "fat" ePubs holds sufficient amount of reading material to keep me busy for a long time.
