I'm the one at 24/7 who has more than 1,000 ebooks. Those are the ones bought to be read on a Blackberry/Windows/Palm hand held or desk top. I also have quite a few for my Rocket ebook reader, HIE and Franklin ebook readers. I have put most of those away however because I always have my (now)Blackberry with me to read on. I am leaning towards getting a dedicated device that is cheaper, lighter, and reads more formats than my other dedicated readers but the right one hasn't come out yet.

I did get started reading ebooks on my Palm and have bought books primarily from Fictionwise, Baen, Powells and Mobipocket, although I do frequent a few eclectic ebookstores. What can I say, paper is nice but ebooks are lighter and always with you.
