I wouldn't have bought the Nook if it had not had the softroot available. I have sideloaded 2,500 epubs on my Nook and thanks to the softrooting it works great. I can find everything I want easily. I can show of the cover scan to other people - I don't use it myself but it is nice to flaunt! I use Calibre to organize and download my books. I will tell you that neither the iRex or my Sony 505, which I loved, could properly handle this many books. I know that many of you will say that I don't need them all on my reader and you might be right, but I like it and if I can make it work I will.
One really nice feature on the iRex was the ability to view books in the sequence last opened. This meant that if I had opened multiple books recently, for whatever reasons, I could easily see all of them at the top of a list.
Still as much as I preferred the iRex's capabilities in theory, I have replaced it for the much faster and more reliable Nook (at least in my limited experience).........Jackie
