I'm sure this is Amazon's response, that you don't need all the extra storage because it's all in the cloud, to be retrieved whenever.
I know some people feel like they have to have their entire library on the physical device, but really? If there are 5GB of system memory, and say half of it you want to reserve for ebooks, you've still got massive amounts of space. 90% or so of unillustrated ePub books are going to be less than 5MB in size.
I know, someone will come along and say "But I keep 5,000 picture boo
How about, "I have hundreds of books that I didn't purchase through Amazon, and therefore aren't in the Amazon cloud."
How about.. You have no e-books, and don't want any, but are enjoying poking holes in imaginary and quite comical use cases that nobody actually has.
In ePub/Mobi. Still not going to take up hardly any space. PDF, unless you mean pirated school text books that are scans tied together in a PDF file. Also quite economical with size.
My 1000+ e-book library, including a hell of a lot of duplicates
Books that are just words take up little space. But books with illustrations can take up a lot of room. Graphic novels and modern textbooks are two common examples of types of books that will take up a lot of room on your Kindle; a single one of those can be 50MB or more.
