What I would like, rather than an omnibus edition, for those times when I want to have a lot of books on the reader but not use a memory card, would be single books.
To solve the issue of the correct reading order, I suggest that when people create their lrf files to put the series number into the title.
So that books in a series be named for the series, as follows, for the Richard Hannay series by John Buchan:
Hannay 1 -- The Thirty Nine Steps
Hannay 2 -- Greenmantle
Hannay 3 -- Mr. Standfast
Hannay 4 -- Three Hostages
Hannay 5 -- Island of Sheep
That way they will list alphabetically right next to each other and it will be obvious what sequence to read them in.
For those who want to be able to find the correct sequence but also to look up the books by title, you could simply reverse the sequence in my proposed titles:
The Thirty Nine Steps -- Hannay 1
And then the titles could be searched, and if the books are listed by author the sequence could be learned easily.
But one thing that the omnibus editions don't allow for is the removing of books already read, thus wasting available storage space, so if there's an omnibus edition of 4 or 5 large books and you're reading the final book, you're still stuck carrying around the first 3 or 4 needlessly.
