Ebooks are very small compared to music and video. I have over 2,000 novel-length ebooks on my ebook reader, and they all fit on a 2GB SD Card with room to spare.

So from an ebook storage point of view, the 16GB iPod Touch will be plenty.

I certainly want to put enough on the Touch that I can always be reading. I'm a professor, so I do a good bit of reading for work. I'll most likely put primarily work reading on there, though will likely include some pleasure stuff as well. (I work with a lot of material published before copyright, which I mostly get in PDF from GoogleBooks currently. Not sure how that would change when using the Touch.)

I'd appreciate any thoughts people have on this.
