I do read about 90 minutes per day on my two Kindles. My wife reads about 30 minutes per day on her two Kindles.

However, I also spend about 2 hours per day managing my business affairs and spend 60 minutes per day reading and posting on the internet. I spend another 60 minutes per day playing games.

Reading time is a finite quantity - not unlimited. I suspect many others spend 5 times the time organizing their vast collections of eBooks compared to actually reading any eBook.

I sleep for 10 hours per day.

Frankly, exploring new Kindles has now become one of my favorite pastimes just as exploring and using Calibre and Apprentice Alf has become a major hobby of many others.

Many years ago I used to spend lots of time converting music to MP3 files with all sorts of software. Today I rely totally on Amazon as a source for all my music and don't waste any time converting any music. I always keep my HDX 2013 ready as I hear music on the radio or TV and can buy the song instantly from Amazon.

I suspect, as Amazon monopolizes more and more of the eBook world, Calibre and Apprentice Alf will fade away altogether. Hopefully, by then, Amazon will have spread their tentacles to all forms of eBooks including ePub, Microsoft, Adobe, Apple etc. They will then have total control of the eBook market. At that point conversions will be irrelevant just as conversions of music to MP3 files has now become irrelevant.

If Amazon totally managed Goodreads and had our Amazon eBooks automatically integrated there, then, when we finish an eBook, their Goodreads integration could offer us our next eBook for purchase. Netflix already does this for movies. As I finish one movie, they offer me 10 others matching my tastes per my ratings of past movies. Amazon Prime movies still does not match Netflix in the movie area with that feature.
