Well, I keep all my books on my kindle, except for the few I didn't like and would have tossed if they were paper books. I never use wifi so my archive is empty and I don't want to use it. My 1000+ books are organized into 11 pages of collections by author which I can't do with my archive. So when I'm looking over my collections to see what I want to read next I only have 11 pages to browse through instead of over 100. I also never use search or highlighting or notes so I don't care if those would be slower. If I could I would disable indexing entirely as I have no use for it. I would also disable most if the so called features like notes, xray, ect. I just want to read and have a simple way to organize my books in the way it makes it easy for me to find the one I want. NOT searching, I don't DO search, besides mostly I don't know what I'm looking for before I find it. Who remembers names or titles anyway? If they were all in the cloud if I wanted to read some specific book I would have to wait until I got home and transferred it over from Calibre. That would be a pain.
