I've learned that in life if you don't get it when you see it, it won't be there next time or you'll forget all about it. So I buy all the books (e or p) I'd like to read when I find them.

There are so many, I keep a Word file of what I buy on any day named as that day. In the files I put an hash before each title I've read. When I've read all the books in a file I add an r to the file name.

All this is on the ppc I also read the books on.

I probably have nearly 2,500 ebooks on 8 sd cards and without this system I'd be lost.

I'd like to have a proper database so I could find a book easily but that would take too much time away from my reading.

A quilter calls all the fabric they own a stash pile. Is that the right term for ebooks too, or is there a special word?
