I've never heard of it until now, and certainly will not be looking into it until I see thousands of my documents showing up in that format. It's kinda like if you ask me what I think of the claim that Larry Niven is God. I've never considered it, and will not be going on an extended spiritual quest unless I see lots of believers (not a few guys on MobileRead.com) and lots of evidence. No offense.
Ya'll have pointed out a few other great points on a library.
1. Redundancy, unless your files are expendable.
2. Organize them by some method. Title, Author, Subject (my pick,) etc.
3. Fill in the meta data, if you can. I have neglected this, and sincerely regret this now that I have almost 1TB and a Sony PRS-505 that only reads the meta-data title. Author, Title, etc are criitcal.
4. Keep your collection off line. There is always someone who will claim a copyright on a 75 year old book that's been out of print for decades. They will refuse to print it, it will be unavailable from rare book dealers, and you will find yourself sued and your hard disk wiped if you have a copy in your cache somewhere.
