It would be nice to have a search function for the book titles just in case but I do not
understand why people put thousands of books on there. Unless it is the collected works of Dr. Suess, you probably won't live long enough to read even half of them. I have about 50 books on mine and I don't think I can finish them all in a year. Can anyone tell me what the logic is?
It depends on how fast you read. I read a couple of pages a minute on a real book. On the nook I basically click on the next-page button every 15-20 seconds or so. If I'm not busy with school or the kids, I could easily go through a book every day. When I was a junior high kid I'd check out a dozen books from the library and be done with them in a week. As it is now, about as fast as I manage is one every 2-3 days (assuming I have time to read).

Still, I don't feel the need to have a thousand books on there...but I sympathize. It would be easier than shuffling them on and off. Some organization would be nice.
