For the record, I constantly re-read, and carry everything I can with me. That is the single best reason for changing from pbook to ebook, in my opinion - I can carry 10,000 books in the space that one book used to occupy. I often am overcome with the desire to go back a read a specific paragraph, page, chapter, or entire book that I've read before. Now, I can do that, wherever I am.
Lately I have been wondering about other people's reading/storage habits. Not why, but how.

I have 3 readers I use regularly and seldom read the same book on two at once. (occasionally I will switch to the Sony when the Kobo formats the book really badly) but I usually have different ones going on each reader.

One for in bed, one for balcony or table/chair reading, and one for the bus. But if I am really enjoying a book on the bus reader for example, I will just take it to bed till I finish the book

Readers are cheap enough for me to want to get another one since the new ones are coming out. I don't have to justify the expense, I spend more on things that are bad for my health weekly

What I would like is a system that would keep all my readers valuable to me but would not take up the time and energy of a part time job.

So I am interested in threads like this and more often than not I learn that one tiny little invaluable thing that makes me say why didn't I think of that. Some of them from yourself if memory serves me correctly
