If I wanted to do it that way, I would own a Kindle.

My main reader is my 950. I keep 700+ books on it. I don't want to mess up the collections and books that I am syncing with my 350/950. I decided to manually manage the T1 for now. I am not going to load my entire library to the T1 since it's more for portability. I decided to go with the drag-and-drop method to set it up initially. Then I'll just wirelessly download in the future. I did batches of 20 - 35 books at a time so as not to overwhelm it. For the collections that contain books in a series, I added them to the collection one at a time to force the added order to be correct. For the other collections, I added books in smaller groups to force the order to be close enough to the order in my collections in the old software. I also broke some of my collections into multiple ones with subgenre names to have more control over grouping. It's a big time investment up-front, but it should be easy to manage from here. I still have about 200 more books to go today... The new software is what it is at the moment. I hope they do an upgrade to add more features back into it and make it more stable. It reminds me of the old software version 1.0 back in 2006/2007.
