I read three or four books at a time, but they aren't device specific. I'll have most or all of my books going on all my devices (there's usually at least one pbook in there). The devices are for convenience, most especially the 350 which lives in my purse. The nuisance aspect can be making sure all my content is loaded, especially in regard to library books. As for syncing, since with the exception of my Touch and my Nook my devices don't, I just remember what page I'm on.

Partially it's level of difficulty, as you suggest, especially when I'm too tired for anything but close-to-mindless reading. Mostly it's just a matter of mood. There's also a factor where I can get bogged down in the middle of a book and switching among books keeps them all fresher.
