Over the years I learned that having a few specific areas of focus keep me from doing things like reorganizing the kitchen cabinets every day. I honestly don't think I'd be satisfied with only the organizational tools found on most ereaders, including the Kindle collections. I'd go nuts, or at the very least it would take me hours and hours to get a semblance of order I'd be happy with.

OMG, we are so much a like! I would say my OCD is milder - as in self prescribed not actually diagnosed. I arranged all of mypbooks on the book shelf but gave up when my hubby "reorganized" them by being messy. I understand, however, about over organizing things like e-books and iTunes.

I understand completely!
It is a bit difficult to articulate.
