Ha. I hadn't really thought about it before, but I also say "On my Kindle" and "In Calibre". |

You mean collections? You can always just import them over from your K3.

I have 38 books on my PW. That's only because I haven't had it too long and I tend to save everything to Kindle for PC and run it through Calibre prior to sending it to the Kindle.

I honestly don't get it. 100 books per year is considered a fairly high target by many, even on these forums full of readers. 300 per year is a phenomenal rate that few accomplish, unless they're extremely short and easy books or the person has time to read all day. 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. |

Having said that, I do admit to an element of hoarding when it comes to books |

It's partially about choice (just the other night, I was trying to decide what to read and flipped through quite a few collections before I found one that hit the mark). When I'm travelling, I'd like to have the choice of what to read and not be limited to just a few. But it's also about grabbing books when I can. I frequent the "free for a limited time" sorts of newsletters and I grab all the books that sound interesting because I might want to read them and limited-time-only is a good draw. They all get downloaded and sorted into their appropriate collections for that magical moment when the time is right

433 at the moment on my GDX. And as has already been said, it's not the numbers, it's the choices.

Think of it as a mobile library. It's good to have a wide variety of choices. It's good to know that somewhere on that reader will be a book that fits your mood at a particular time. Moods change, so it is good to have something that covers most of them.
