I had no idea that was so common, to tell the truth.
Ooh, this is me. When Fictionwise was in its heyday, I bought a lot of books there. When I had received some Amazon gift certificates, I'd get a pile of ebooks. Now I have a wishlist on ereaderiq, and I buy books when they hit a certain price point (generally below $6). I have managed to pile up a few hundred ebooks, and there are probably 500 more on my wishlist. I know I own books that I will never, ever read in my lifetime. It's a shame, really, and is why I do very little re-reading, and I'm making efforts to really curtail my purchases.
