I guess I'm repeating myself with e-books, buying too many! I probably have bought more than 150 books from Connect... and reading and reading to get ahead. Very seldom buying regular books anymore, the Reader really converted me, and I don't have space for more bookshelf at home anyhow
I have about 3,500 ebooks on my device, none purchased. There is far more freely available in the public domain or under a Creative Commons license that I want to read than I have time for.

The nice thing about unread ebooks is that you won't need to call the paramedics if the unread stack falls over on me...
