All that aside, getting all your books into Calibre, with all that additional metadata, will really give you a handle on your reading.
I now have all my Baen books with date or purchase and price. I'm up to 2008 for my Fictionwise books. But it's in 2008 that I became aware of drm-removal software. And my rate of purchase from Fictionwise went way up!

2500/4000 books to go...
