(ETA: Apparently the poster whose question regarding how many books we all had was banninated for spam or whatever. So, that's the context for this particular reply which otherwise looks really random without it.)

I think I've personally got fewer than 400 I've actually paid for.

Some of them are magazines and anthologies/collections which I don't count because I skip reading individual stories so I never really "finish" them. Some of them are bundles in which I essentially paid for a bunch of books in order to get a deal on the 1-2 I really wanted and the other few I was willing to try out. And some of them are cheap-on-sale re-buys of books I've already read and enjoyed and was willing to toss a little extra money at the author/publisher for when it was discounted.

So I'd say roughly ~300 novel-type things I purchased with the intent to read/keep, of which I've read new approximately 100 < 150 and had ~50 pre-read when I bought them.

That of course refers to e-books alone, because I have many more paper books in my library.
