I'm gradually coming up with an organization of all my e-books, which involves keeping a large number (280 or so) directly in the Reader's memory, but I have decided just this morning to do away with the memory card, since it does appear to use up some extra battery just being in the reader, and since I really don't need over 2500 books to choose from at any one time.

I'm thinking of creating two identical directory structures on my hard drive, one as it stands now, containing all my e-books (mostly PG e-texts) and one completely empty. I would move books gradually from the full directory structure to the reader and then once they're read, placing them into the empty one, so I can tell at a glance which books I haven't read and which ones I have.

But of course I'll have archived them all onto DVD for more permanent storage.
