You aren't necessarily an e-book adict - you're an information junkie. As long as you're not going into debt and/or your social life suffers you shouldn't be too worried.

And I'm an 'e-book addict' as well but I don't tell how many e-books I bought the last 13 years (hint: it's a for digit number for sure).

Some helpful advise:

If you are an information junkie, don’t despair. You can convert yourself into an information user simply by following two rules:

1. When you buy an information product, set specific deadlines for reading it and implementing what you learn. For instance, set a goal that you will take one of its recommended actions within 24 hours of receiving the product. Then resolve to take at least one more recommended action each week thereafter.

2. Don’t buy another product until you have made some progress with the one you previously purchased.
