I do have a lot of articles filed under both the Author and Subject.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

I've been making a habit to save stuff online. I have about 7,000 images bookmarked online.

I also use Dropbox to sync all my Ruby/Python files. That way, I don't have to bring my computer home.

Do you use a bookmark index like de.licio.us?

I do have a delicious account and use it regularly. I like it.

Location H:\books
1.23 GB
1666 files 126 folders (the files' count doesn't show any real count; books in HTML format may contain 20-30 files)

If the size of that subdirectory reaches 4.7 GB, it will be saved on DVD named "BOOKS 5", and begins at "0".

- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

Mine goes back to 2001, it started as a folder on a hard drive. I then carried it around on a USB for a few years, and now it lives on Google Drive.

3.81 GB on disk for 6,364 items

I have a separate USB drive (I called it my book pack) that has nothing but books for my Kindle. I have a few hundred titles saved to it.

Unfortunately, 98% of them are English.
Near all of them would not be available for me other way, without downloading.
You know, our flat and our budget are limited.

Winning? I don't know. Every time I sweep the list for reading the next one, I find the backlog terrible...

Thomas Maurice's nine books on India take up quite a bit of room. I have only sampled for what I wanted, but they look interesting.

Once I get a break from my primary project, I may just delve into them.

Google rules, although I should give credit to some smaller repositories of public domain stuff.

I kept them on a flashdrive for a while, but my computer has plenty of room on it, and this is the only device I am using.
