The reason for having lots of space is so you can carry lots of texts with you on the device, at the same time. I've got about 700Mb of PDF files that I'll want to have on it. This includes the Apple developer documentation, the last few years of Scientific American magazine (I subscribe to the digital version, the last few years BioITWorld magazine, Prospect Magazine, PDF versions of the course materials for a degree I'm doing part time etc. I'm usually reading a couple of books and several magazines/journals at any time. I can't wait until I can have my whole library with me in the same way as an iPod allows me to have my whole music collection with me. Recently I've started buying electronic versions of technical books in anticipation of these new epaper devices shipping.
