I'm not sure how to answer this. I download any freebie that looks interesting to me (I do read a few sample pages to make sure that it isn't in the the worst-book-ever-written category, particularly in terms of spelling, word choice, and grammar) and add it to my TBR pile. The problem is that books get added to that pile faster than I can read them. I average three to four 400-page novels a week, but find I frequently add several times that number to the TBR pile.
The other complication is that if I download and read Joe Blow's 800-page masterpiece and like it, I immediately go buy Joe Blow's other volumes and read them, before I return to my TBR pile.
I have every intention of reading every book I have downloaded. Whether I will reamins to be seen.
I suspect that for every 100 books I download, I actually read 50, a 2:1, download-to-read ratio, and I am aiming for 1:1.
