Bravo, happy reader user! How can anybody get so freaked out over not being able to download 700 books in a jiffy? By the time he finishes reading his first 100 books, eConnect will probably have been obsolete for many years. Just contemplating the titles in his collection will probably take him days, perhaps weeks, before he finally sets out reading the first book in the list. Obsession can truly be an ironic thing--just like being in love with the idea of love itself and not actually being able to be in love. In the same vein, it is completely possible for a person to just love the list of books in his collection, rather than the wisdom and knowledge contained in them. "Look," he says, "I have 700 hundred books in my collection!" You ask him how many he has read. He's bewildered, scratching his head : "Oh, is that the whole point to it?"

Well... Those of us who:

• have large eBook libraries
• bulk convert from html to lrf...
• ...with libprs500, and...
• encounter the occasional conversion bug...

sometimes find ourselves wanting to move a GB or two over to the reader in a single go. At times like that it's annoying to have to wait for the slow USB connection on the PRS500.

Note that I'm not actually wanting to read those 700 or 800 books right this instant. Rather, I'm trying to get good copies of all of them onto the reader so that whatever conversion bug was fixed lately won't annoy me when I see it in whichever book I read next.

This is really an artifact of bulk conversion of files, not one of having too many books (is there such a thing?). And yes, I have read all of those hundreds of books.

Some people who have bought an ebook reader of some type, after less than a year, have changed them for an other make that uses an other format. It is not logical to reformat an entire collection at once.(I have several thousand ebooks)

I find myself often tempted to buy an other ebook reader. Does it use the formats my ebooks are in? Which ones will I read next?
Now I keep less than 20 ebooks on the device, to me it's 6 months of reading! Will my device still work in 6 months? Will I buy an other device? If so, will I keep the present one or trade it away?
Carpe Diem.
A better way of using that formating time would be to clean your rooms. Or read.
