Since the bookcase in our living room is is reaching its maximum capacity, we're moving from traditional books to e-books.

My wife already has the Sony PRS-T2 e-reader, and this week, I bought the Kobo Glo for myself. The reason for choosing the Kobo Glo is that it has an illuminated screen (which you can turn on and off). So it enables me to read in the dark. No need for an additional light. It does drain the battery faster if you enable the integrated light. Not as fast as I thought initially, but compared to the battery life of the Sony reader, the difference is significant (weeks instead of months).

This post won't review the Kobo Glo itself. There are numerous other reviews online available. So, if you're looking for an in-depth review, please follow this link and pick one of the search results. 

This post goes into the e-book management for the e-reader. Especially on how to sort and display series (e.g. the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child). Even though the post describes the management for the Kobo (Glo), it's possible as valid for other e-readers.  The (textual) information was gathered from several sources on the Internet (and added as a source of that information).
