On the reader, when I know which author I'm looking for, I use DNSB's method, which I find very efficient, much more than on Sony, since I don't even have to exit a book for it.

When I'm looking for an idea what I could read, I find it easier to browse through the calibre catalogue I update regularly: it is a full catalogue, including those books not currently on my reader (only 1782 books/839 authors, compared to the full 3943/1468).

I include in this authors, series and tags sections, and add prefixes: A for those books in Archive (calibre), S for those reserved for my Sony reader (a few pdfs not adaptable to epub), 2 for those read on a reader, 1 for those I read only on paper (but could wish to reread).

An example on my aura hd: on one page among the authors H section, I have 21 books by 8 authors, with A, 1, 2 or no prefix, for one of them the name of the series under the author and the books listed by series number (in square brackets).

Occasionally I also generate a detailed catalogue with the descriptions, just for those books on the kobo (it would be too big otherwise, already 29 MB for the kobo), for when I have really no idea what will be my next book, and wish to browse the metadata more efficiently (for fxp33, you can add file type, but only for those on calibre, not those kepubs converted when transferred to the device).

But still and all, I like to remind myself of books by their cover on the calibre grid, on my widescreen PC, which helps me add some to my "to read" list.

PS: For language sort I have tags, so l can browse by tag in the catalogue. Like all tags I want at the start of the list, they begin with a number, for instance 3.5 italien. I also have a "pdf!" tag for those books that don't convert well to epubs, and a "no kepub" for those epubs that don't either, for which I have to remember to desactivate the conversion when transferring.
