Best reader for library management?

astrangerhere · 04-13-2011, 11:14 AM

So I've seen tons of threads about this or that readers poor library management. I, like many others, went out and bought the biggest SD card my nook would support. Granted, I only wanted to be able to load 2-300 titles on it at a time (many short stories, etc), but still thumbing through all that is tough. The shelving option would be great, if i could manage it on my desktop and not have to manually move a book to a shelf ON the Nook.

So my question is this - what, in your opinion, is the best e-ink screen reader for managing large libraries? Is it calibre compliant?

As far as I am concerned if you going to tag things and put them in collections your best bet is a sony. You can put things in collections directly from tags and series that are in calibre. I don't have my sony anymore I have a kindle and sometimes really miss the library of the sony.

I have found that the collection feature on the Kindle to work nicely. It is a bit of a pain to move everything in the first time but once it is together it works nicely.
