my books

1) how many e-books have you purchased total (all sources)?
over 280

2) how many e-books have you purchased via Connect?
1 by accident - my issue w/ connect is I hate the interface, it is sooooooo slow. I find it very difficult to browse. Most of my books (99%) come from fictionwise - I find the site fairly fast to browse, I like how it shows new releases in various categories. I like the user ratings. I typically buy books by browsing - as much as a site can replicate the "feeling" of being in a book store and wandering the aisles, I am more likely to buy books.

3) What kind of books are you buying?

SF, mainstream (koonz, king, shreve), religious - Catholic specifically and classics like from Chesterton - I wish C. S. Lewis' books were available.

4) How many new books verse e-copies of books you already have?

Sorry - I don't get the question - I don't buy paper books at all.

5) How many backlist (i.e. older) books do you have, and by who?

I don't buy new e-books because of the price, so most all of mine are over a year old - but they may be new releases from Fictionwise.
