All my books are downloaded on my computer first. Since there isn't a version of ADE for Linux, everything is downloaded through ADE on a netbook (that will only ever run Windows), DRM removed and then transferred to my real computer and handled with Calibre. I've taken to removing the book that I've just finished reading on my reader since it will always remain on the computer. I've always been a packrat with books, and ebooks are no different. The only difference that my entire library will fit on a DVD instead of a wall of shelves, on the other hand, I can't pick up a DVD and look to see what's on it like I can look at my shelves. My library ised to fit on a CD, now it fits on a DVD, at some point in the future it will require a Blue Ray disc but at least there will be no more lost or misplaced books.
The entire library will fit on my reader but it seems silly to place it there. It slows down the reader and makes it harder to find things. As several have suggested, my reader is my book bag and hopefully I will will be taking more out of it than I am putting into it (there are several hundred books there at the moment.)
