Yes. Don't remember exactly how many but certainly over 20 & possibly as high as 50. I remember the bill was over $80US.
I wouldn't any more because our new house doesn't have as much storage room as our old one but new/old, when I shop in a bookstore it's for used books. That usually means thrift stores where the books are $1-2 each. There's also no guarantee that you can come back the next day to buy what you don't buy today-thrift stores work on a 'what you see is what we have' basis so I buy books I want when I see them regardless of how many that is.
ebooks? I think the most I've bought at once is a dozen. I could be wrong as I don't keep track and I've certainly added many more than that to my wishlist in one day but ebook stores never run out of product so I don't feel any need to 'buy it now'. (Technically the 'never' isn't true but it's close enough for government work IMO.)
