LOL! Probably true.
I split my two accounts and started getting only freebies in the second (but should have set up three and now am too lazy to do so). For a while, I was deleting from my primary any freebies now in the 2nd (except a very few topaz books that I though others on the primary might want to read). So, I have two large accounts now (by the naive amazon support rep's standards), but nothing like the 66K guy (he added, what, another 20K items in the last few months?).
People making fun of him, though, should keep in mind that the # of items in the library now includes videos and games, I believe, as well as personal docs. I can see students sending dozens of items a day, for a class, if they try to use a Kindle for it, instead of some other service with better management tools. If you like recipes, you could easily send them to your kindle acct and then use it to search and read them ... if it actually worked as well as they claimed (back in the old kindle days) and I'm sure some people do, still.
I'm seeing people post on the forums that they have been told by Kindle service reps not to put any Mobi books on their kindles, as it causes problems (entirely untrue, although you can't easily read DRM'd ones .. even that was possible with older Kindles, although it took a bit of doing).
Anyway, I keep the MYK page open (with all books loaded). When I want to look something up, I open a second one (to trigger a log-in, if required), then swap to the open tab with all the books listed (and close the newly opened tab - it isn't needed after you log in). that way, I only have to wait for it to load now and then (or after a browser crash). Use Hibernate instead of shutdown and you don't have to load it every day, even.
