500 ebooks is big?
Really? He must be new to the game.
BAEN bundles alone add up to over a thousand in less than a decade.
Gutenberg images offer tens of thousands in a singke download.
(Well, used to, anyway.)
And between permafree and promos getting 500 commercial books is trivial.
and most ereaders have no trouble managing a few thousand. onboard.
Some can even handle the full Gutenberg libraries and more.

Well, 500 is about the point where you need to develop the rules and policies for growing all the way to a 5k ebook library.
