So when I was using Kindle DXG, I need to swap books quite frequently. With an onyx M92 right now, I still have quite a lot of switches .

My habit of reading is sometimes a little bit too extensive, not very focused. I would browse 100 books in a single day sometimes, and check much more books for references purposes.

So a 128G storage would really be appreciated by me.
I agree that study books, specially those with graphics, technical images and diagrams are heavier (in terms of storage) than an average reading book. Also, while studying, it's handy to change books quickly, something that e-readers didn't offer until now with good support. Digital Paper has tabs, which allow us to change the books quicky, without needing to return to the library.

But , do you study anatomy in black and white?

If you really need to check a lot of books per day, maybe a tablet is the best option. You could have productivity on the go as well. I'm thinking about it, since the Digital Paper is being a bit disappointing. I thought about the surface, which is the best tablet right now for productivity IMHO. But it's a lot more heavy.
So I read there's a mini surface coming, especially designed for note tanking. I might consider that an alternative. The negative side is the screen size (just 7-8'')...
