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.

I have a 2GB card on my readers, and I find that's plenty. And I have all my books with me. Why? Because I might feel the need to read that specific book and not the one I was already reading. Or I want to look something up from a certain book I read before.
