1) how many e-books have you purchased total (all sources)?
About a half-dozen, all from Connect.
2) how many e-books have you purchased via Connect?
I've purchased a half-dozen, and gotten another half-dozen free through their credit.
I also downloaded about 40 "classics" through their big credit (100 free).
3) What kind of books are you buying?
SF, science (On Intelligence), political (George Lakoff), but decent, contemporary nonfiction is REALLY hard to get through Sony.
4) How many new books verse e-copies of books you already have?
3 copies of things I already had. I FINALLY READ THEM!!
5) How many backlist (i.e. older) books do you have, and by who?
I got 40 classics through Connect because they were free, and also because they were convenient to download and already optimally formatted for my Sony reader. I got T.S. Eliot, Locke, Shakespeare, Malory, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Emerson, Thoreau, Poe, Machiavelli, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells. Many of these I have in print, some of which I've never cracked.
