So.... 1000+ books means over 3 years for even the accomplished reader; basically the lifespan of most ereaders before people upgrade them! I see numbers here that translate (based on people's previously stated reading rates) to 10+ years!

I think some of you need your OCD meds to combat your hoarding.
I just like having a wide variety of ebooks easily to hand. Some are from Amazon, some are from here at MR, some from places like Smashwords and some are things like Harry Potter fan fictions that I enjoy reading. Not all are fiction either. Currently I have 109 books on my K3 on the subject of writing alone.
