jbcohen and Worldwalker, I appreciate your advice to backup my files. I use an external hard drive for everything and 2 duplicate flash drives to carry my sermons around with me. (one stays with my travel stuff and the other goes back and forth with my notebook.) My The problem with a flash drive is that if I do not have access to a computer, I can't read them. (I really dislike carrying around a laptop.) Since I got my reader, I carry it nearly everywhere I go. More than once I have been travelling and been asked to preach on short notice. It seemed convenient to me to create one file with all my sermons divided by Bible book and chapter. That way when I thumbed through my tree-book Bible I could look at my notes on that passage.
WW thank you for the walk through on your reader. From my home page I usually select "Books" which shows all the books and can be sorted by date, title, author, file name, and latest read. I can see how using collections would winnow out the books I don't need. Since I've never used collections, I can also see how I need to get control of my tags.
You guys have been a great help. A sermon can take 15-20 hours to prepare, much of that is research and consulting commentaries. With over 500 original sermons, I would hate to be a poor steward of my time and duplicate the work I've already done.
