Okay, I’ve tried out your Book Magic. It’s nice, but it seems limited to look at one directory at a shot.

The problem I have, is that I’ve been collecting ebooks for years. Even organizing the files into directories is a royal pain. (at least with fiction, I can place the ebooks into author folders/directories.) To give you an example of how bad it is: Last week I just finished somewhat organizing .pdf science fiction and blew past 25,000+ Yes, yes I know there are duplicates and some of the .pdf’s are just stories as opposed to books.

But now, I’m facing non-fiction. I don’t even a clue on the organization method to use. Dewey Decimal System? LOC? Heck, Medical text alone is over 300+ ebooks. I make a slight joke to friends that I could restart civilization with the ebooks I have. *sigh*

And this does not include my video library or music. (For my mother, I completed all the Elvis movies, all the James Bond movies, coming close to all the Disney animation. For myself, I like science fiction, so I have all Babylon 5, and thinking about completing all of Star Trek, and will most likely complete SG-1, later this month.)

Ebooks, I read using a combination of iPod Touch and Sony Readers. (I have a PRS-700 and PRS-505, I gave my sister my old PRS-500.) I just feed movies and TV shows to my mother using iTunes and Apple TV. Yes, I have multiple computers. No, I don’t get out much.

I’m the primary caregiver, for my mother, who has dementia. So having a life, isn’t exactly an option.

I know the guy running manybooks.net is running his webserver on a Mac mini, I’m thinking of hitting him up for some answers, too.

Until Later,

Ken
