Yes. I shuffle what's on the reader fairly regularly, especially since I've gotten tired of waiting for the reader to scan its way through a GB or so on an SD card. Also, the reader loses track of that data lots of times when it crashes, so I'd like to be able to put the relevant bits into the layout nodes again rather than eat yet another re-format. And it would also help in multi-reader households like mine -- lots of stuff that I've read that my wife hasn't read yet. This could save her waiting for the format too.
Also, I re-read favorites a fair bit, because my main sources of fiction don't put out enough new content (that I can afford) to keep me in fresh reading material.
Finally, we could (somehow) store the information with the lrf files here on MobileRead too. That would benefit everyone who doesn't use Windows, by letting us avoid the
first re-format as well.
(OK, I know, it wouldn't help anyone who changes font sizes or sticks a different set of fonts on their reader. But still...)
