I've only got just over 400 ebooks all up, but I only put those that I'm reading on any of my 3 devices because I regard Calibre as my 'Library' and the readers as my library bag that carries the books to read. (We got introduced to the idea of using a library bag in Primary School to protect our books, and then, believe it or not, got taught how to make one in Craft class. Cool eh!)

I've had cause to factory reset each of my devices, BB Playbook, Kobo Glo, and Sony 650 for various reasons and I want one less hassle wondering if all the work I've put into creating shelves and creating other orderliness and organisational attributes will hold up through that process.

I want my reading time dedicated to reading and not sorting out (and then re-sorting out) how my devices display my books.

Everyone eventually comes to their own way of doing things with usage experience, and failures of equipment is a quick learning curve, imo.
