Actually, it wouldn't surprise me that Sony didn't expect most folks to carry around that many ebooks with them.
Borrowing a dubious parallel, there are people who use MP3 players to store just a few songs or a couple of albums at a time and rely on their management software (iTunes, direct access, Creative Source, whatever...) to on-and-offload works frequently. Then there are those of us who have a 30GB player and expect any piece of audio we've ever been exposed to or bought to have a permanent home.
At least Sony allowed for the expandability of memory cards. (Which would be an expensive and inefficient, yet workable, solution: keep a given collection on individual cards and then swap them out as desired. Wouldn't be my cup of tea, but would work for collections in the hundreds of books range.)
And a very nice review, Amadeus.
