I prefer not to read two similar books one after the other. I very rarely even read two books from the same series without something different in between. Heck, the UK paperback version of A Dance With Dragons was published in two volumes, and I read something else between the two halves of the one book.
I also kind of like to mix it up with devices. If I feel I haven't used, say, the Kobo for a while, then I'll pick something on the Kobo next. (Let's count pbooks as a device, too.)
I do have quite a lot of trouble tracking the TBR, though. I'm slowly putting together a spreadsheet, but it's quite a lot of work. I still need to add several dozen pbooks, and I think I'm probably missing a few free ebooks that haven't yet made it into Calibre (Baen CDs, for instance).
I also have todo lists on my iPod, when I'm pursuing various authors/series/lists. These include books I don't yet own (and I really wish the Todo list software I am using supported three states - I need to track whether I own them as well as whether I've read them.) For instance, I have a list of Agatha Christie's novels, so I can see which ones I need to try to pick up when I'm browsing charity shops and second-hand bookshops, or, I guess, borrow from the library (I'm not willing to pay the ebook prices); and I have a list of Hugo winners, which I now own all of and have only 9 (well, 8.25 now) to read.
