Did you go with the 32GB or 8GB version?
I was initially tempted to go with 32GB back when I got my Forma, then I rethought that. A good recent example discussion of why is in this thread about how to organize your kindle library. You'll see sort of a consensus emerging about how a lot of people organize their books on their devices--which would apply to your Forma as much as to a Kindle. The consensus is: don't spend much time trying to do a lot of collection-munging and book organizing ON your devices themselves. It usually doesn't work great, takes a lot of time, and doesn't transfer to your other devices very well anyway. Instead, just keep a smaller set of books on the device at any given time (so you can find stuff easier), keep your larger collection in Calibre, and do all your tagging, organizing, and book searching of your collection there. So in the end, I found the 8GB Forma had plenty of storage, given I use it that way. |
8gb, I felt this enough. That said as you elude to, I've gone a bit nuts and filled it up nearly. Now I keep jumping from book to book without finishing them. I will heed your advice and use Calibre a bit more sensibly. I love the shelves tip which really speeds up adding specialist collections. But I need to be brutal with what I intend to read as opposed to what I think I might read.
Are the patches of much use I read some of the tut's but wasn't clear on what they do exactly?
