thank you!!!
thank you!!!
many thanks for sharing
I now have hundreds of thousands of ebooks (mostly thanks to KAT) on my 11 TB of external disks, so I hope this can give me some helpful ideas. I'm having trouble sorting them into categorical/categorized folders: some folders of unsorted files have tens of thousands of ebooks spanning multiple nonfiction genres.
My god, for real? That's absolutely amazing! 11TB of ebooks???
Incredible!! I would love to see what a collection that size looks like.
Tloac knows, I can use all the advice I can get. 1 TB+ of books. Thanks!
