Seriously, why do people feel the need to put absurd amounts of book files on a Reader (or other device) that they will never actually be able to read, and then complain when the system gacks? You can put over a year's worth of reading using just internal memory, and no problems at all. The complete "library" of ebooks that you will never read can stay safely on your hard drive, and even be backed up on flash media. But why insist on putting tons of stuff on the Reader that you'll never access? This "completist" mentality baffles me. I use my Reader to read books, not to "carry around my whole library."

And, if I want to listen to music, I'll use a more compact and better-sounding mp3 player, thankyouverymuch.
