But they keep adding more storage and the marketing people hype how many books it can hold, which is really misleading. Yes it can hold a lot of books, but it becomes an unmanageable beast.

My suggestion is use it for reading. Keep your current book and maybe some other books you might read in the coming year on it and some you might want for reference and let it go at that. It's a reading device. it's not a hard drive.

I do understand the temptation to have all your books in one place. I just don't think it's all that practical. It's sort of like the guys that empty our dumpster doing that with a motor scooter.
