So I for one end up pre-processing pdfs for my Kindle Dx. So far, I avoid importing the originals, and only import the processed versions.

I assume some of you are in similar situations, so do you find it helpful to import the originals or not...?
Every 4 GB, or if that is too small, every 8 GB , archive the original PDFs to DVD.
USB sticks that are 16/32/64GB in size are useful for archiving, but I haven't found a way to organize them, that is as easy and straightforward as the way I organize the DVD archives - write the contents on a label, and stick the label on the disk.
