I'm getting a lot better at resisting the temptation to collect vast piles of stuff that I won't realistically ever use (or re-use, if I've read them once).
I did start to download a stack of free classics etc but quickly decided that the best place to store them was where I got them in the first place - on somebody else's server on the internet. I found sorting through the clutter on my own equipment was more of a pain that an asset. So I went through and deleted everything that I thought wouldn't get read in the next week or two.
I do have folders on the main computer for the 'keepers' but just leave 5 or 6 on the reader. I'd rather spend the time reading than fiddling about scrolling through pages of titles.
It's turning out to be pretty much like the way that I treat pbooks (keeping a small 'active pile' somewhere like a bedside table). The difference is that I'm happy to leave most of the rest of the e-books on the internet rather than creating my own e-library on virtual bookshelves.
