Plus I figure the number of free books (out of copyright) I read in the first month likely were worth at least as much as my reader, so that was a nice plus.

You made me curious about how heavy all my books would have been so weighed a few of the boxes I still have and multiplied it by the total number of boxes I had before I started scanning and came up with a little over 1/2 ton. This is roughly 1000-1200 books. Thank God most are not hardbacks or it would be closer to a ton!
