I'm not sure why you are opposed to the 1GB of storage, a book is fairly small.

My to-read folder on this computer has 248 pdfs in it most of which are academic papers a few (maybe 10 or so) are books. Even a 500 page imagescan of a book is 63 megs.

I found a bibliography of cryptography on a university page (I think it was MIT or Berkley) a while back which was 700mb over about 2 728 pdfs large.

I wouldn't be so worried about 1GB, the amount of dead trees you can fit on there will keep you busy for months. Unless I guess you want to have massive amounts of audio books but then I'd wonder why you wouldn't just get an iPod instead.
