Have they said how many books they will store on the ereader? All I've been able to find is that they will use some type of caching so that you can read offline, but with no details.
If in fact you could load hundreds titles on your Google ereader and have them in long-term "cache" then this would be pretty cool. Essentially it would be no different than having your ebook files on one of today's ereaders. I would really like to read the details on Google's caching system. If either of you could provide links to these details I'd really appreciate it.

The article this thread is based on is in the first entry the third paragraph of the article states:

Once a book has been accessed on a given device, a cached version will exist, making it possible for readers to access the book offline. "There's a really complex set of offerings out there for the consumer. Our concept is that it should be open: they shouldn't have to pick the device, software or retailer," said Edmonds.
