Do you have an sd card slot?

i gots the slot (2, actually), i no gots the card.

If you are fortunate enough to have folders, how do you sort them?

i use calibre to add tags and create collections, and i almost never browse using the "all books" view. i used to add multiple tags but when i noticed (after beginning to load books onto my 600) that i had more collections (most of them with 1 book each) than books i changed my ways and now i try to limit myself to 2 or 3 tags maximum. i make collections by genres (mystery, humour / satire, litterary fiction, etc.), by series, by language, for "example books" to show various formats during meetups, "reference" (dictionaries), and also i have one called "priorité1" where i put the books i know i want to read next (well, soon, anyway) because otherwise i can never remember what was next on my list, and i (usually) look there first when i finish a book.

Please post on why you carry the books you do. Or anything else you'd like to comment on.

i mostly have books i haven't read that i want to read. it's ridiculous how many there are. i also have a few that i like to re-read regularly and i like knowing they're ready at a moment's notice. i like to have plenty of choice so whatever mood i'm in i can find a book i feel like reading right then.

I've just topped 700 on my k1, and show no visible slowing down in page turning. It does take a little longer to 'wake up', but not much.

i've not noticed any slowdown during browsing on my 700 nor my 600, but the 700 did take a bit longer to index 400+ books whenever i unplugged the usb connection. but since i never turn it off completely (i use sleep mode) this is the only time i have to wait, so it's not a problem.

Its multiple choice.

i picked "300 or less" for my 600 and "500 or less" for my 700, just because i could.
