Much like @Sirtel, I often pick a random book to read. I tend to go through a lot of books due to reading speed so prefer to have a decent selection at all times. My TBR is in the single digits unless I have just gone hog wild, added in the latest Baen bundle, etc.

Whether I have 10 books or 10,000 books on my Kobo, the weight doesn't change and the search results take a negligible time to appear, why not keep a good chunk of my library on my current ereader (Kobo Sage, ~1400 books). I do make an exception for my Clara HD which has a 128GB µSD card on which I store my entire library more to see if I manage to break it with various firmware updates than any other reason.
