I own two Kindles (Keyboard and Paperwhite 1).
I voted for "over 1000", as my Books tab on Manage Your Kindle shows 1013 items - but that includes free books as well as the Amazon-given dictionaries and user guides in multiple languages.
In actuality, my spreadsheet shows me that I have purchased 543 not-free ebooks from Amazon since 2010, for the total cost of $1482.33. That makes my average Amazon purchase cost $2.59. Only five of my Amazon-purchased ebooks have cost over $10 (another five have been $9.99), and all those were bought before I realised that "going on holiday in another country" was an option worth considering. (In comparison, 93 of the bought books cost under $1.)
I read fiction almost exclusively and these days, other than for a few series I like enough to pre-order and read immediately, I only buy books when they're on a (temporary - daily/weekly/monthly) sale. My TBR is long enough that I don't need to add more books at regular price anymore, other than the rare read-immediately ones.
