[QUOTE=dhbailey;185382]Harry was correct in what I was suggesting -- why not simply catalog your books on your computer, generate the text file to bring with you on your Reader?[QUOTE]
Probably because I don't have a single "text" file on my Reader and every real book I own has been catalogued in LibraryThing. Every electronic book I have has been formatted to LRF with BookDesigner. I'm surprised actually, I just assumed everyone was converting their files to the resident Sony format.
Perhaps an explanation is in order. For those who are not familiar with it LibraryThing.com is a website where you can catalogue your tree-based library (which I have done with my books - over 1,300) LibraryThing has a tool whereby you can then download your catalogue which I have chosen to convert to LRF so that I can bring the list with me when I go shopping for new books at the book store. The larger my actual library gets the harder it is to remember which books I do have (Even worse, I lost my entire library in a flood in 1995 and remembering which I have and which I "had" tends to blur.)
