Is yours organised with few books on or do you just keep loading it up,my friends have over 300 books on there's but I can't be like that because I'd just skip to another book when I couldn't get into one so I only have 2-3 on mine at a time
 
I haven't had mine long, or really used it, so there's not much on it. A few books, couple magazines, that's it. lol
 
I've had mine a year and just put on what I enjoy and will read. I can't be bothered with a bunch of freebie books that don't appeal to me. If I have too many, I tend to get overwhelmed... so I just buy as I want for the most part, one at a time:)
 
I only got mine at Christmas time so haven't thought about this too much yet as I don't have too many on there. But I think I will only load 2-3 at a time and leave any extras on my pc until I'm ready.

At the moment though I feel the need to leave the books I've read on there, which I don't know why as I never re-read books. Maybe I'll put them in a folder and see how many I've read at the end of the year and then delete them or something

do you delete after reading?
 
I DL samples all the time. I have tons of samples, and maybe 20ish books that I have yet to read. Tons of mags too - i love those on my fire!
 
oh my kindle is a mess ... if someone recommends a book, i usually just go grab it right then so i don't forget ... now i have tons of stuff on their that i've never read, and i cannot ever remember when/why i bought them all ... i'll get it sorted out one day ... maybe ...
 
I just got mine at Christmas too. I have some free ones there I will read. A few I bought. And the library ones I return and delete the previews and stuff after I read them. I would not like to have that many on there.
 
I keep loading up, because I grab them when they go on sale whether I'm ready to read them or not
 
I've got 5 free ebooks on mine but haven't had the chance to really read any of them yet.
 
yeah I have tons of crap on mine! It's totally loaded up! I use Calibre to load books onto it and I get free ones from some places and I buy them on sale and just keep throwing them on there. It's pretty disorganized!
 
My Nook is still pretty new - I only have a few books so far and some magazines.
 
Mine's organized, sort of. Book series are filed in their own folders of course. Then separate folders for each author. But I haven't been able to organize recently and it's getting to be a mess. Sigh.

i could've written this!! totally me!
 
I´ve got a lot on mine, but only read one book on it already LOL I´m still oldschool and love real books much more. I organise them in folders and sort them by authors. works pretty good. now just have to read them LOL
 
i was organised, but then i got the kobo app. So now I have some books in the regular app and some in kobo and they can't be switched so that sucks.
Everything in Kobo is just thrown in there, but there is maybe only 30ish books so it's not too bad yet.
Most of those are free and unread, but the ones I buy I read straight away and leave in there.

Is there anybody who has an ereader as well as reading on their phone? I use my phone and am wondering if it's worth getting a real ereader now? I always wanted a kindle but now I can't justify the dollars to buy something I don't need. kwim?
 
I've only had mine since Christmas but it's already a mess! :giggle I have quite a few free ones, loads of classics and a few bought ones all jumbled together. I need to start sorting into collections before it gets really out of hand!
