It seems that we have an easy, cheap solution to extra storage in the form of SD cards. I don't know why people need thousands of books on their ereader, but if they do, that seems an effective way to do it.
About being a first-adopter: I generally avoid it, because I'm cheap. You know for a fact that prices will drop and the product will usually get better. (Not always--video recorders, IMO, got cheap and the picture quality went down. Even when comparing recordings made at the slowest recording speed, the earlier models of both VHS and Betamax made better copies.)
But you have to figure, at whatever point you buy: "Is this product worth the money to me?" If it is, then it doesn't really matter if it gets cheaper and/or better. Once you've bought it, the question becomes, "When is it worth it to me to upgrade?"
