Me, too. I'll buy an ebook now if I really, really want it (and there's not a significantly cheaper alternative, such as plibraries, elibraries, or used), but the days when I bought an appealing book because of coupons/discounting are largely over. It's just too darned hard to find books I want to read that are coupon-friendly, now that RH has joined the cabal.

So, I've got about 300 books on various devices, but that includes some all-time favorites. And then there are the shelves of pbooks, plus my library lists and the books I'll get around to buying when I'm in the mood to read them. I can't come up with a hard-and-fast number, but it must be in the 500-1000 range.

My only real goal this year is to finish the laundry basket of pbooks I've got sitting on my bedroom floor. And next year I can have another laundry basket, and the year after that.... But I've decided that if I haven't read a pbook at the end of the three-year period, it's never going to happen.
