Freebies from Gutenberg, Freebies from Baen, various freebies from various publishers, about 300 free ebooks a day posted at Amazon, every day since about three week before Christmas (some duplicates, mostly new) and fan fiction sites with thousands and thousands of fanfic titles on just about anything out there (made a lot easier with the fanfic plugin)....
Then the ones I buy...
So, yeah, 20,000 or more are easy to build up. I've got almost 27,000 files. And while I plan on working my way through the stuff I buy, the rest are just mind candy even if they're just sitting there right now. Some stories may be crap, some may be interesting, some may be the best things I ever read. But since they're free, and very, very small, I'll take the chance on finding out sometime in the future. I've found that you never know where that next jewel will come from.
And if I don't get to all of them? So what? They're very, very small, and free.
Don't like something? Delete it. Plenty more to test out.
