However, due to the peculiarities of Sony device, I later reversed my opinion. The amount of internal memory on 505 (300 has beefed up its internal flash) is comfortable for holding very big "to read" set of books. Add to that awkward handling of huge collections on Sony (one can see 10 titles at the time, 1 second refresh as you page through the collection, etc.), and I pulled my SD card out of the device for good. Calibre and/or Sony library software are way better suited for book management. Every so often, I plug my device to recharge it anyway.
Unless you are planning a really prolonged trips to the area where access to computers is questionable (military deployment, for example) I would not be concerned about the storage space. If it is insufficient, you are in trouble with the management of your "to read" list, and you should spend some time organizing that list on the device.
As TGS said, PDF is not the greatest format for (I would say all) Sony PRSes. One can read it in landscape mode (one half-page displayed), or re-flow its content but it is cumbersome/ugly. PDF's with graphics (tech manuals?) are simply unusable, as there is no zoom in function. For PDF's, you really need to look into bigger tablets or eInks, and those are not cheap.
