Now, that is a much better technique than mine, now that I have become a total ebook geek. What happens to me is that I read, read, read, almost finish, renew if I can, then it's fine, but if I can't renew, I put a hold on it. This sounds simple enough until 5 holds all show up at the same time, then I'm trying to simul-read five things to a deadline, accomplishing none, keeping in my head the plot/ideas of all the books. You see the problems. But I'm not sure it's an improvement on the 15 books, with six or more deadlines, that used to hang out in the bookcase headboard of my bed.
