Smetimes (usually) I read more than one.
But mainly I read in bed, before sleeping or napping. It calms me
I have very different wants at different times. I do not want to get out of bed and look up books in calibre or go unline and download them I just want to find a book in my reader that I am in the mood to read.
I will often open a book and decide it isn't grabbing me and switch.
Having ten books only on my ereader is like having ten books only in my house and if I want another going out to buy one.
I know everyone is not like this and that is fine with me. But even assuming I really really like all the books on my reader, well it will take me about 7 days to read 10 books, and then I have to add more and delete those ones. Not a big deal, but it is much more convenient to have a few more already loaded for me. It is a comfort level kind of thing to have my favorite authors and some as yet unread authors and a few dozen anthologies and short stories at my fingertips for when I am feeling finicky. If I only wanted 10 books handy, I could just put them on the nightstand
