But this does mean that I have three to four year's of ebooks bought and unread, not the less than two that I thought I had. Wow.
That's a little higher than my pace; I tend to hit 120-150 per year. All the same, I'm in the same boat in terms of having about four years' worth of reading material on hand...and a good chunk of TV/movie content, too.

I generally adopt a philosophy of stocking up in times of plenty to support my habit in lean times. I don't like being left high and dry when I can help it. All the same, I am starting to pull back from buying new releases, unless I get an excellent deal and/or plan to read them Real Soon Now. Since the ebook's the same either way, there's no other inherent advantage to buying early.
