From that, it's an easy task to transfer hundreds of books at any time to a reading device. Say, once a year or so if you're a fast reader, more often if you buy/borrow new ebooks.

I don't want all of them on there at once. The SD card gives me options of putting books there and transferring them between readers or computers easily. It also gives me a place to put mp3's if I like that are separate from the books.

As you say I keep a back up of my library/libraries. On two separate external hard drives.
