Hi All,

I'm currently moving my entire library from my PDA to my Sony 505.

I used haalireader first on my PDA and that was extremely quick at going through by Author then Title in zipped text archives.

Having got more books, and wanting a better format I moved to Mobipocket.
Its internal library management was hopeless so I just stored books in Author folders and launched individual books from the explorer.

I'm now converting all of my books to LRF for the reader using Calibre (Thanks Kovid - its a fantastic tool!). I'm at 210 books so far.

I'm making heavy use of collections to try and cut down the number of pages I have to wade through, but I'm at 30 Collections already so I'm not sure how well that will pan out in the end.

I'd like to get my entire Library on the Sony, but I'm putting unread books and my old favourites first, and I'll see how it goes.
