I think my eReader would crash if I tried to load my entire library on it. Especially if I tried to stuff all my physical books into the SD card.

Drives me crazy. You can't find anything if everything is listed. I remember when Amazon and eBay sellers went through that phase, where they wanted their item to show up on as many searches as possible. I was SO glad when they cracked down on that. I think too many fanfic writers are focusing on every type of writing 'hack' to get attention, tag walls, number count, 'face claims'... rather than working on what really needs work. Actual story telling. |

You don't need to plan to read them on that device for them to be a backup. I always get the most storage on a device I can afford, then load my ebooks and family pics on them. I don't read on my iphone, but have a full back up of library and kids pics. What ever I might be carrying outside the house. The house burns down, I have backup copies with me.
There's only one time I had to evacuate, and that was years ago. Apartment down the hall caught fire, and I grabbed my 3 month old and the diaper bag with my wallet and car keys inside. It was all I had for 2 days before they let us back in with escort for 20 minutes to grab what we could grab. All together, we were out of the apartment for a week. As long as I have my phone, I have a backup handy even if I don't read on it. Same with what I can carry on any of my ereaders. I got the space, I'm using it for something. |

AO3 semi-recently limited stories to having some 75 tags because of one author who felt it was funny to use literally thousands of tags. (Thankfully, it didn't automatically remove anything on fics posted before the change; instead, it made the author manually remove excess ones in order to update fics.)

It's one of the reasons there are some fandoms I just won't go to, since they have a ton of characters. People were tagging characters that were just mentioned, or had no lines or purpose to a story. Hard to find the stories about the characters I was interested in when they're all listed as if they were MC's to the story. And too many of the tags were just useless chit-chat from the author. I guess they thought it made the story look cute or something. |

I make sure I keep all my books on all my devices and back up regularly to a back up drive as well. |

My book goes everywhere with me. If I have 5 free minutes, I will get it out and read. I have always done this. When I read, I am oblivious to those around me.

I take my eReader to medical appointments. Once I didn't, thinking "oh I'm the first one in, so I won't be waiting more than 15 minutes," and the doctor was late due to a traffic accident.
