Long ago, in a galaxy far away ... I managed my growing ebook library manually. This worked well for a time and while the library was smallish. I sorted ebooks by format (txt, rtf, PalmDoc, TomeRaider, Plucker, MobiPocket, ...) and kept all unread duplicated in a folder for loading on my device.

I began using calibre back in the v0.n days, but only as a format converter at first. Even though my library is still somewhat modest by MREA* standards at some 1700 ebooks, calibre has become the library manager as well. It's a great tool for managing the library and finding books.
