I bought the Reader for my wife for Christmas and she is having a little time adjusting to the concept. One critisism she had was that she could not "read the jacket" and remind herself what the book was about, if she had many books already on the Reader to read later.

So I showed her that she could create a running book summary document in Word with a first page table of contents and a brief one page summary for each book copied from Amazon. Then she saved it as an RTF and uploaded it to her Reader. As she adds books, she could edit the file and uploaded as need. She really liked this concept so I thought I'd share it with others - even though it's a rather low tech solution.
