Guilty of keeping a copy of all their ebooks on every device they own, if more than one? Due to freebees and obsessive collection, I actually quickly outstripped the number of books I could keep on my Kindle Keyboard. So I've not really developed the habit of having every single book on any device. Had a kindle since 2009, so 10 years now.

When you get a new device, what do you do in regard to previous purchases, now that you have a quite large library of them?
I add new purchases to my main reader automatically.

Do you prefer to read on your newest device, and does that mean your older devices barely get a look in, if ever? I tend to read on the Voyages, but older devices are in circulation. If they aren't getting used, they get sold. Right now, I have my old Nook ST up for sale and considering listing 2 others (they have a psychological grip on me yet) as I have 4 voyages and 4 Kindle Keyboards and a Touch for editing and that's quite enough ereaders. Oh and the Nook Glo3.

The biggest problem I've had is reading books from all the different places that I have purchased from due to the massive number of Amazon titles, hence having one reader dedicated to Kobo and of course the Nook has all the B&N stuff. One ereader now houses all the stuff from Baen, Storybundle, Humblebundle.
