i want to store ll my books o my pc and then i would never need to ever go back and forth but use the kindle as single source point for all books.

so i wander if any one can be persuaded to put 3500 books on their kindle.

how would the books show up.

i mean you can only see 10 items per page?

can we put 50 items per page.

otherwise we need to scroll thru 350 pages to find a book. (3500 divided by 10 items per page comes to 350 pages!!!)
The number 3500 is clearly an estimate, based on an average book size of 1 MB. Just to give you an idea from my library, "Oliver Twist" is 2 MB, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is 1.7 MB, "Jane Eyre" is anywhere from 0.7 MB to 2 MB, depending on which version you have.

I moved from a K1 to a K3, so I am enjoying Collections. I haven't accumulated very many books on my kindle yet -- maybe only about 50-60 plus about 50 samples. I suppose when I start reaching several hundred I will have to think seriously about a back up strategy.
