Peter is right. I did a lot of testing on this when doing the calibre driver.

Well, two things here. Why do you need to keep 2500 books on your reader?
Secondly, I agree with you.
Actually having a personal library is what the Ereaders are about.That means yes you keep all your books with you. Now that said some people like to delete things and never go back to to them ever. But Others my self included like to reread things, and If I pay for the books I definately want to keep them forever. Its the reason I paid for them in the first place. But bottom line I enjoy reading, and a good book is always good. So rereading is sometimes just as enjoyable as the first time, where you took a step in to that fantasy world of the writer and imagined your self there.

So keeping the books all 2500 or more is not an unreasonable option. I kinda like the idea I can take that many books on the plane with out paying overage fees for the extra weight.

I meant why do you have to keep them on your reader?

Keep them on your hard drive, and copy them to the reader when you want to read them. I reread books, but keep the books on my reader down to those that I haven't read, or are in the queue to be reread.

Even while travelling, you have a pretty good idea about what you want to read, or in my case reread (as the unread books are already on the device).

Since the user interface on the devices is slow, I rarely have to deal with more than 20 pages of books.

I keep them on my hard drive, managed by Calibre.

But despite that, why should e-readers have 2 GB of memory, if it is not meant to be used or because 'the device is not developed to do so', and more important, why is it an important part of marketing then?

Because that is the next size card up from 1GB, which would be too small.

Until recently, the Kobo firmware wouldn't let you fill a 32 gb SD card and have enough room on the internal drive for the database and images.

I understand. But Kobo stated, in an email to a reseller wich came in the hands of a customer (can't find the specific post anymore), that the device is not developed to handle a very high amount of books!? Filling up the internal memory is not what the device is developed for (ain't it remarkable!), let alone filling up a 32 fb SD-card.

It was me that got that email. Yes, basically that's what they told the reseller. It's also pretty insulting to read that they dont consider you as a "real customer" when I just spent almost 200 Dollars to buy it. For some, this is not peanut money.
And the thing that got me extra mad is that Kobo does not advertise the 30.000-book-possibility as a side gimmick or an extra, but they highlight it.

I think you are right. I would really like to use the device as a real bookcase, but this, along with the fact that the userinterface is, to my view, not suitable to handle a large amount of books, keeps me from doing so.

Update, works great w/ Sandisk card from Amazon:
(SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-032G-U46A)
link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o02_s00_i00

Speed seems fine, and when i used Calibre to dump books and shelves to card, worked perfectly, the Glo picked up what I had sent to card and all were "shelved" correctly.
