Summer is coming and with it good weather and vacations. Moments where many people take the opportunity to load their eBook eReaders and read at any time, but How many ebooks are there? Are they many or are they few?
In recent months everyone has focused on the power of the eReader, its screen or its battery but And in your space? Has anyone noticed your storage? Does anyone count the ebooks that can be inserted into the eReader?The truth is that it seems that only companies care about it and only to save a few hundred dollars. Years ago it seemed that all eReaders were going to have a card slot to introduce as many ebooks we want, but the current trend is to remove this and leave the internal space that in many cases does not reach 4 Gb and still no one complains.
The internal memory of ebooks is less and less although it supports thousands of ebooks
It is clear that in Spain, with the crisis, sfew users have hundreds and hundreds of ebooks, something logical, but outside our borders, few users mention it. It is true that some daring has inserted "thousands" of ebooks in his Kindle and as a result the eReader has performed worse or so he says.
Personally I think that storage has not been a problem thanks to the sd cards, but now eReaders do not have that slot, at least many of them, so it seems that we will have to get used to having few ebooks or lightweight ebooks, an interesting point that few people pay attention to but I think is the key to everything, don't you think?
But now I pass the ball to you How many ebooks do you have in your eReaders? Do you delete the ebooks from your reader when you read them? Have you ever filled the internal memory of your device? Do you think the eReader gets worse when it fills up? what do you think?
I have 49 ebooks on my kindle. I wish I could take many more but if I don't it is for two reasons:
1- The Kindle slows down the more books you have. I think it's because of the reader's storage system. I would like it to work like a usb memory and allow folders to be inserted at the user's discretion like Papyre does (or did). The collection indexing method is very memory consuming the more books I have… I think. If I'm wrong, tell me.
2- I don't want to get confused when I have read a book. It would be a hoot if the Kindle allowed to mark a book as read and put it aside to a folder or collection so called: "read." One thing to improve in the future.
Hi! I have 850 books on my kindle 4 and it only slows down when I load all the books as it indexes them, but then it works fine. I read an average of 50 books a year so I have a while! Ha ha
I have approximately 800 books, but to the kindle I only pass those that I am reading and some more, between 10 and 20 books, the rest I manage with the caliber, when I buy a reader never fixed in the storage space, it seems irrelevant
I have about 1000 on my kindle. At first I put them in suddenly, and then I did notice a slowdown. Some must have been indexed wrong. If you add them little by little, it works well no matter how many you put in up to a certain amount. Starting at 1200 or so, I was starting to slow down a bit, but nothing serious.
It happens to me like with mp3s, I don't need to have dozens of collections of music or books that I'm not going to use. So I've been doing a few purchases. I would do more than books that are not in ebook !!!, which I would like to consult easily in the subway or on the street with my iPad or iPhone, since I keep epubs in dropbox or mega; something that for me has also slowed down the use of ebooks (that are closed on their own platforms). Maybe one day there will be a liberalization of this maybe with a standard format ...
I now have 35, of which I am reading 4, when I finish one, which happens more or less a week, I erase it.
I have my ebooks all on my PC, where I manage them through Caliber. On the device I will have around 30-40 ebooks without any problem. Those that I am reading I am eliminating and when I want to add content I refer to Caliber and the PC, so generally I do not take up much memory.
Also, Amazon's cloud services save you space.
I have about 8 gigs of books on my PC, and I've moved a few to the tablet, but I have something like 200 books that I uploaded to my Nook. It has no problems, it does not slow down, it has not been filled, I organize them on shelves and in folders. If I wanted to put more books (I still have a lot of space left in the ereader) I added a memory card. I have not used it yet, but there it is just in case.
