I keep all of my books in a folder on a portable drive. I have a copy of them all on my laptop. Once I complete the conversions, my 10gb folder will shrink considerably, very possible down to 4gb or even less.

However, these also include CBZ/CBR files, which are basically zipped images. These take up quite a bit of space. I'm toying with the thought of going thru them all and cutting the images in half, so that I can read them easier in landscape mode on the 5". Not sure how it'll work. I'll try it with a few pages of one comic first. If it works well, I'll complete the conversion. If not, then I'll simply not copy these to the SD card.
