technocracygirlI have this thing. I don't want to be sucked into Amazon's ebook infrastructure. So I have gotten other ereaders.
I have had a Sony, two Nooks, and am now on a Kobo Aura One.
I have bought ebooks from Google, Sony, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Baen, Storybundle, Humble Bundle, Kobo, and probably some independent retailers that I don't remember off the top of my head.
They are now, as far as I know, now all listed in my Calibre directory. I am currently at over 1200 ebooks.
The lack of good pictures, good tagging, and having the authors actually be the same throughout my reader has bugged me for forever. (I should be able to see all my Courtney Milan books in one group, right?)
So I am going through Calibre and fixing all the metadata for all of the books. Part of me feels like this is a fool's errand. But for whatever reason, it's really comforting to me.
