Examples of useful things, other than your current ebooks, that could be carried in a Reader:
- newspapers and magazines. (Also, you might often want to save articles for a little while, so wind up saving old issues.)
- Schedules, found in PDF, like from your gym or favorite sports team.
- Reference material for work.
- Deferred web reading, captured via Bookit.
- Operating manuals for your various devices and appliances.
- PDF publications. Like the 2009 Fuel Economy Guide, or tax publications.
- A surfeit of "good intentions" Classics.
- Tutorials. Technical, language-learning, etc.
- Dictionary(s).
- Religious texts (Bibles, Korans, etc.), even if you're not religious, just to look up stuff.
- etc.
It really depends on your preferences about information vs. overload and clutter.
After two weeks of ownership, I have come close to filling my PRS-505's internal memory, so have offloaded stuff to an SD card. That's with most of my ebooks not yet loaded.
