Today is my one year anniversary with Cody! Although I had to send him in and ended up getting him replaced with a silver 505...okay so it's my one year anniversary since the date of purchase, my bad. Anyway, since the very first day I brought him home I have read 233 books on my reader.

Sony site-135
BoB-10
Kobo-31
Fictionwise-15
AllRomace-30
Dreamspinner-2
Misc-10

I didn't count the others I haven't read yet; these are saved on a different SD card.

I have to be the only weirdo that does this-when I buy a book I automatically save it on 1 SD card (after I've stripped the DRM, of course) and add it to my reader. Then, every couple of months, I go through the books on my reader and those that I have read I delete and those I have not read I put on another SD card and delete them from my reader. Then, when I have exhausted all of my favorite authors and have no choice but to start re-reading, I pop in the "Unread" SD card and start working at the "pile" of books I have on there. Does that seem weird to anyone else? I never realized I did it like that until I started counting the books I have read against the ones I haven't and found I have a pattern going on, lol. To me it seems easier to keep track that way.
