I'm only saying that's what I would wind up doing instead of actually reading books (which is the purpose for which I purchased the device). "Look at my library!! IS IT NOT GLORIOUS?!"

I used to do this, and then a few T1 crashes broke me of this on-device. Now, I save that devotion for organizing in Calibre. I'm pretty pleased with myself when everything is nicely tagged, and now the Grid View makes it easy to see if I'm missing the real cover, rather than the nasty fake covers the lazy
Big 6 Big 5 use. Now if Dropbox could put a prettier face on the Calibre backend, where I download most of my books as I want, I'd probably be back to Library Petting™ via the cloud.

I'm with you - I generally have 3-5 books going, usually different genres on different devices. Maybe the PW2 will convert me to Amazon's Wonderful Whispersync™ and I won't end up doing that so much, but we'll see.
