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?
I read a book a day or so when actively reading, currently I am reading through the dresden files series again in preparation for side jobs coming out next week. When I am not in a reading mode I read a book a week. I have over 1200 paper books and am converting my library to ebooks. At the moment I have 131 ebooks on my nook and have read every one.

I anticipate having about 1000 ebooks on my nook in a couple of years. I often reread. Sorting, searching and browsing are important for me since when I finish a book (or series) I am often looking for something to read right afterword. I am constantly running into the current published end of series and so look to reread to cut down on frustration. I don't like to reread a series more than once every 3 months on the high side. So I am constantly looking for books I haven't read recently that are interesting and suite my current mood.
