I have around 4,000 + fanfiction ebooks saved on my computer, and while I already have two ereaders capable of holding all of them, (the Kindle Fire and Nook 1st Gen,) neither of them make it easy to keep track of all of the stories on there. I want to know if there are any ereaders out there that either have a large internal memory, or the option of upgrading storage, and also have the ability to manage a large collection. I'd like to keep the cost at $100 or lower, and I don't mind buying a used ereader. Thanks to anyone who replies.

Ok, bear with me please. I know this information is out there somewhere, it's probably been asked a million times, but please keep in mind, I'm old!!

A couple of times, I've downloaded fanfic and successfully gotten it on my Nook. But, I do a bunch at a time, so it's usually quite a while before I need more. Then of course, I have no idea how I did it. What I want to do is write down the way to download and then keep it on file. That way I always have it and don't have to waste time figuring it out, and just get to reading!!

So please can I have downloading fan fic for dummies? Probably most of what I want to download is archived stories that you just click on and read. How do I get those downloaded? I've used squeebook, I have Calbre and the fanfiction downloader, but like I said, I don't remember what to do.

Thanks!

And contrary to my name and icon, I don't read a whole lot of SPN fanfic any longer!! Back to good old S&H!

For the past couple of week I have downloaded all of the favorites fics and put them on my Nook.  I have had to use Sigil on about a 1/3 of them to look right.  The ones that I'm having the most trouble with is all of my old X-Files stories that I love from Grossamer.org.  I tired to download them in txt formart but that didn't look right.  Then I tired saved them in HTML formart and just removed the background.  Again it doesn't look right.  A lot of the time the text runs too wide for my screen.  I was wondering if any one else has tired to put their old X-files fanfic on their e-reader and what they did to make it look right.

Hey everyone! I’m probably going to be buying an ereader for Christmas and have narrowed it down to the nook, Kindle or Sony Pocket Reader. But I keep debating over them and thought I’d see what the users have to say.

Amothea says that the Sony Pocket Reader supports collections and has excellent sorting abilities:
My Supernatural collection has over 300 stories but I can within the collections sort by date, author, title, and etc. And once I have the title or author selected it gives me a list A-Z so I can jump to the author at the end very quickly.
Do the Kindle or Nook do anything similar, like support the tags from Calibre? I prefer the look and feel of the nook and Kindle, and they are less expensive than the Sony, but this feature is excellent.

 
Kindle: I REALLY like the long battery life and light weight of the 3G but I have a few questions.

1. I think I heard that fics uploaded to the Kindle from Calibre can be tagged and the Kindle will display those tags and the related ebooks, but I’d like that to be confirmed.
2. Can you browse the web on the Kindle? I think I’d really use that feature for finding new fic that I want to put on the device, and I know the nook can do it.

 
Nook: I LOVE the ability to add extra storage, and to browse the web. I think I’d use the web browsing to find new fic often.

1. Does the nook (black and white) have the ability to create My Shelves like the nook color? Can you sort through books in a collection by author, title, ect?


Is there anything I need to know, good or bad, about the devices? I think I’m leaning towards the nook, but I’m still not sure. I’ve got more thoughts about ereaders here.
