It is like music and the MP3 player. Sure, I could choose a hand full of CD's on a trip but why not take 100gigs of music. Am I going to listen to them all? Nope... but having the option is the best part
My point was that he and I are a lot a like; we both have hundreds and hundreds of books. (In fact, I still have a couple hundred paper books even after going digital.) And we both have to have enough reading material in hand at all times. The fact that he could have five hundred ebooks with him instead of only 5 paperbacks apparently escaped his notice. That was what I was trying to say.

EDIT: As I read your post a second time I see that you agree with me, so the tome of this post doesn't make much sense. I wonder how I missed that before.
