I keep about 140 books on my Sony. I only keep unread books on it. As soon as I finish a book, I delete it. I do have backup copies of all my ebooks in several places, should I ever want to reload a deleted book.
I don't sort them because I don't plan to keep them. Again, once read they are deeted.
My approach to ebooks is perhaps a bit odd. I consider my ebooks to be disposable books -- read them once then toss them. They are the paperbacks of my reading existence. Books that I care about and may want to reread, I buy in hardcover. These are the books I intend to pass on to my grandchildren, books that do more than provide a few minutes of entertainment. These are also books from favorite authors, be they fiction or nonfiction. For example, I buy David Weber's novels in hardcover because I consider his books worth owning in my permanent library. OTOH, I only by Dave Duncan's books as ebooks -- they are generally good reads but not ones I care about keeping as a permanent part of my library.
