If it already is in ereader format (Fictionwise for example) I leave it in ereader because I can read that on 3 of my 4 main reading devices (ipod Touch, Macbook, Palm PDA although I don't use that one much). If I buy from Fictionwise and it is a multiformat title, I download the ereader version.
If it is not already formatted (e.g. it is plain text) I convert it to ereader to read on my devices, but I store the plain text file. I have a few books like this because I have a dvd with many titles on it, and it was sold to me in plain text so I could convert it as I chose.
I keep folders on my PC (which a backup onto a memory card) organized by type of file. Currently, I have:
- PDF (some writing books, mostly)
- Text (many commercial fiction titles from the cd)
- Fictionwise
- Fictionwise (Secure)
- Other
I do not keep back ups of public domain texts e.g. from Project Gutenberg because I am confident I could download those again should I wish to.
