I used to work in a library so I have a "Fiction01" folder on my hard drive where I have sub-directories by author <last name>, <first name>. Every few months I take my un-sorted folder and organize things by dropping the various files into the author directories.

I have imported some of these into Calibre which is a great program, but I have not made it my central repository of all things yet.

I have ... 2 main e-readers. The kindle I share with my wife, daughter, mother and mother-in-law. A semi-steady diet of Pratchett, Reichs, Brown, etc. go here. All the popular/best sellers are on the Kindle.

The PC files I blip over to my Nexus 7 where I read using Moon+ Pro. The initial load of 150 books has been whittled down since Christmas, but I still have months of reading to do before I am ready to transfer new files. The PC files are back-fill of my SciFi library, Military, some technical and some like "Fifty Shade of Grey" which might make for awkwardness at the next family gathering.

Tech Note: I use an On-The-Go cable and "Nexus Multimedia Importer" to import files from a flash drive. No need to root my Nexus tablet. One file I wanted on the nexus was simply sent to "MyDrive" on my gmail account and copied down by the gmail client on the nexus.

BACKUPS

I have not quite filled up 4.6 gigs of space in my "fiction01" folder, but when I do I will start a new "Fiction02" parent folder. I occasionally burn a DVD and make a backup.

I probably should sign up for cloud backup because I know eventually this HDD will fail. But I buy Western Digital Black edition hard drives and the hard drives tend to last longer than the PC so I just pull the HDD, and hook it to another computer to recover my files. In .. 20 years I have never actually lost anything on a hard drive.
