I just ran across the results of a poll that asked 29,000 Americans

to report that there are people who have absolutely no organizational

their books by color. Color!

I could read the link, I suppose, but I wonder how many people actually
have a sufficient number of books such that they need to be organized.

Whoops - I thought I hit "draft" while I looked it up, but instead I
must have hit "publish by accident" ... anyhow:
That is indeed a point mentioned in the article:
"One in five Americans (20%) say they own between one and 10 physical
books, while 14% own between 11 and 25 books, and 13% between 26 and 50."

I thought I owned about 50 real books but after curiosity motivated a
count, I discovered I own 140 of which about 30 are of SF genre in a
separate bookcase in no particular order other than series/trilogies in
sequence. The children's books are together as are the 1960's FI and
Indianapolis racing books but the rest are a muddle. All are simply dust
collectors including the 30 SF favourites as they are duplicated as
ebooks using Calibre. When I finish reading a book, I delete it from the
Kindle on which I store books to be read, collections and some
non-fiction stuff. My understanding is that I do not legally own ebooks
on my PC in Calibre whose library system is suitable for me for 2000+
ebooks.
When I do enter the spare bedroom where the SF bookcase is, I do get a
small pleasure from speed reading the titles, a different experience to
reading a title in Calibre.
