    I recently bought an iPad and already have over 300 eBooks. I need to make categories that will make finding them easier. Has anyone worked on a list? iTunes assigns them, but it seems random and not at all helpful.

    I’m thinking along the lines of:

    • Bible & Missions

    • Math & Technology

    • History (should this be broken down further)

    • Historical Fiction

    • Poetry

    • Theatre

    • Music & Art

    • Language Arts

    • Teacher Materials

    • Science & Nature

    • Biographies (not sure about this or if it should just be incorporated elsewhere within other categories)

    • Tales & Fables

    • Fiction

    What do you guys think?

    Assuming you can have a book in more than one category….

     

    Current Year (or Current Year for each child, and family)

    My leisure Reading

     

    I like your breakdown….  my original method was with AO years, then a few more categories…. so now everything is a mess now that I’m not doing AO!

    I think this looks good.  If you share your ipad with other family members, I would suggest maybe setting up individual categories.  I also like the current year idea.  Being able to assign books to more than one category is helpful.

    I recently bought a kindle and it’s amazing how quickly I’ve accumulated books.  Sorting through them was one step I didn’t think about and it took quite a bit of time.  I found that setting up categories as I filtered through the books worked best, so your categories should work pretty well.  You’ll know when you start sorting through them if you need to add any more.  I know I’ll be tweaking the categories as I acquire new books, but it’s working right now.

     My categories:

     Mama

     Daddy

     Child 1

     Child 2

     Bible Stories

     Charlotte Mason

     Christmas

     Geography

     Grammar

     Heroes

     Literature

     Nature

     Poetry

     Plutarch

     Science

     Shakespeare

     Tales

     History

     Ancient Hist

     Greece / Rome

     Middle Ages

     Explorers

     American Hist

     1815 to present
