Wow, fantastic answers - it is amazing to discover the numerous ways people handle their digital literature! Inspired by the various post I have finally gotten around to create shelves:
I have made a few shelves for genres: Horror, Science fiction, Whodunnit, Erotica, Comics, Fiction, Short stories, Writing, Psychology, Society, Animation, Culture, Drawing
It is both fiction and non-fiction mixed together, too bad.
I also have a shelve called Fiction in order to roughly separate it from non-fiction.
Books and manuals on specific software mostly have the programs name in their title, so no need for shelves for those. I can just search.
I have also created some main shelves, using the ! to get them first on the list:
! Curiosities (A category of amusing titles such as 'Our British Snails' 'Secret Chambers and Hiding Places' or 'The Curve of Life')
! Danish (Books in Danish)
! Favorites (my favorite books)
! Finished (books I have finished reading)
! Frozen (books that I oughta read, but has sort of given up on)
! Oughta (books I really oughta read, because, they're "important")
! Wanna (books I wanna read, because, "oh that one sounds fun!")
! Wanna 2.0 (books I want to read again)
Shelves can be used to avoid constantly navigating at gigantic suffocating library that could never be read in a single lifetime. Still, I'm tempted by the simple living approach suggested by ectoplasm...
I somehow find it slightly embarrassing when I fiddle too much with my library. Compared to how much time I have spend on actually reading, I have used quite a lot of time organizing my digital collection. But reading manuals on Calibre and Sigil might also count as reading ... at least my Reading Stats register it as such.
