First I disinfect my ebooks.
My next step is to add them to Calibre, where I make sure that the tags all fit into my ridiculously exacting standards of how I sort my books. I also check the web to make sure I have the best cover. Then I'll usually do a epub to epub convert to get my spacing and justification the way I like it.
After that, I'll usually do a complete backup of my library onto my work computer, my flash drive and on an external hard drive every month or so depending on how many books I've bought that month. I'll usually do a DVD write with my library every couple of months as well.
I also have an "emergency" stash on an SD card that goes with my reader just in case I need to do a hard reset on vacation (again) and don't have access to a computer.
Sounds like a lot, but doesn't take long to do.
