I'm glad to hear that the CALIBRE E-book reader can handle over 250,000-book super-libraries!

as new releases come out and in conjunction with faster hardware calibre is getting much more usable.. not that it wasn't at it's slowest for me. I suppose if I was using a spinney hard drive at the size it is now I would be very very unhappy with search times and start up times.
lol... pretty funny having my library called a super library. My physical library of books is in excess of 10,000 books. about 5,000 paperbacks and maybe 6000 hardbacks. mix of non fiction and fiction.. probably 4000 non fiction hardbacks.
we actually purchased a 48ft insulated tractor trailer and put in bamboo floors and ac along with shelves for all the books as the house foundations were not happy with the weight when all of them were lining our walls.
Digital just allowed me to go even crazier
I read about 500 - 700 books a year
I keep telling myself as an obsessive hobby its better than doing drugs...
