i agree i see people on here having thousands of ebooks on thier devices wich to me is insane.. whats the point of having several years of books on a single devoce what will lot live long enough for you to read them all? i mean really even if you read a whiole book every day without fail it would take 3-4 years for people to actually read all the books. i let amazon cloud do all the heavy lifting and just keep around 10 books on my device and never have to worry about indexing issues or anything.

That's one I can answer. I keep my entire e-library on a chip (with backups). Why? I don't have a smart phone. I don't <want> one. I use a phone seldom, and don't see any reason to pay $50, $60, or even $70 a month for something I won't use much. My pay-as-you-go phone costs me around $9 a month. So for a $50 one-time charge, I got 5, 2 gb SD chips, one for use, the others for backups. I have the same library as I would on a cloud storage, but without having to find a WiFi hotspot or having to spend the monthly dollars I mentioned previously in order to be able to access it. Or having my reading habits being aggregated for some marketer's use at no compensation. Same number of e-books, just as accessable, only cheaper...
But I'm cheap. And I wasn't raised in the era of digital affluence. You mileage will vary...
