I’m probably an oddball here. I’ll use Calibre to convert books to a particular format and that’s about it. Maybe it’s me but I haven’t gotten the point of it.

I don’t keep a lot of books on my Kindle as it really slowed them down and having page after page after page of collections it was difficult to sort through them. I like my DXG for the larger screen and physical buttons but I max it out at maybe 150 books or so.

The older SW seems to sort them in no particular order other than my “last read” it makes it unwieldy to sort so even having only 4gb of storage isn’t an issue. I see the newer ones have more storage and I’m sure better SW but to me it was pointless to have more here as it they don’t handle it well.

As far as total library management I prefer “One Drive” even on all my Apple devices. Surprisingly with all the options out there... Apple iCloud, Apple Files, Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive. I find One Drive works the best. PC-Mac-Phone or iPad if I have an Internet connection I’m good and with 30 GB of space for one account and the ease of switching accounts for books magazines and notes that’s more than enough and it’s free.

All my books are listed by Author in separate files and and a series is listed in a subfolder of the authors primary folder. I do less reading on my kindle anymore but since it’s an older 3g device unless I’m buying a book I really need to hook it up to the PC to make things happen.
