I am currently organising my ebook collection in calibre (at long last). I'm including freebies from on-line books stores, but not public domain freebies. 4202 books at present, although there may still be some duplicates in that lot.
I've added extra columns for "Parts" (for omnibus editions and short story collections), "Read" (whether I've read the book or not), "Price" (the amount I paid for the book) and "Shop" (where I got the book).
For "Date" I'm using the date I paid for or acquired the book. For "Published" I'm using the date of the first edition (or latest first edition date of any part).
Only 2900 books to go....
It does mean I'll be able to approach my unread pile systematically. Still ignoring the freebies, I can work my way through unread bought from earliest to last!
Currently I'm reading a book I bought in January 2002...
