Purrsday and O is for . . .

is for Organization! I love the concept of a place for everything and everything in its place but am having trouble executing it. One small way for me to have some control is with my ebooks.

not my home but dang!

I will always find this to be more impressive and will never give up my print books completely. . . . . but you've got to admit that an ereader takes up a whole lot less space, lets you carry more books with you, and "hides" the covers of your guilty pleasures.

Kobo format

I currently do my ereading on an iPhone, iTouch and my laptop. I own several different formats and while I'd love a cute purple ereader, it isn't a kindle and I have too many of that format to change now!

The problem is finding what I want to read and figuring out if I own it already!

The nice thing about bookshelves is being able to see what you have. Unless you're like me and don't have enough bookshelves (or space for them). Entering, stage left. . . The Empty Folder!

Yes, spreadsheets are nice and I've tried them several times over but I've discovered that an empty folder does wonders.

1. Name a folder "ebooks A". Also the rest of the alphabet. Inside each folder are the books that start with that letter. This is the folder that has the book file inside it or another folder that says kindle or nook so I know where to find it. There will also be a folder for where I bought it (All Romance eBooks for example) and the name of the series, if it is part of one. There may be a image file of the cover inside.

2. All Romance eBooks will also have a folder along with the other places I buy ebooks. This would be named "bookshelf - All Romance eBooks" and will have empty folders named all the books I've purchased there.

3. Each series will have a folder as well, "series - Cat Who..., The", which is a huge help if I have some books in the the series that are print too. I can also have a folder for upcoming books in the series.


Yes, this is a lot of work. Yes, it takes up space on my hard drive. But remember, most of these folders are empty and doing this is way better than buying the book again! The kindle app also lets me add books to categories but only the books that are in the app or on the cloud so that leaves out a huge amount of my books.

Notice I never gave you a number of ebooks I have? Well, unless you read my N post. It was all about Numbers.


This is just one way and so far, the best way for me. Creative Home Keeper has a link-up if you'd like to see how she and others organize their ebooks. She even gives you permission to *gasp* delete. Of course, if the book was free and you're never going to read it (again) why keep it?


now. . . On to the cats!
