I usually have a number of books 'reading: in progress status' for most of the reasons you gave. My e-reader does an excellent job of facilitating this by remembering where I left off.
No bookmarks falling out (sometimes with kitty help
), like in the case of DTB's.
There have been a few books, that had a 'In progress' time measured in
years as I would read a bit, the set aside while I read a hundred others
I have a few with the 'Read' column in Calibre, flagged 'No' (blank is not read). That is my warning to approach additional
works with extra care.
