The nice thing about ebooks is that they don't take up physical space and they don't decay and they're easy to transport. You can buy them when they're on special offer and read them at your leisure. 20 paid-for ebooks is perfectly sensible as a start on a reasonable TBR pile, so that you have something good to read while waiting for the next sale or special offer. You only have to watch out when your TBR pile grows to more than a years worth of reading, IMO.
Of course, that's just my opinion. Some people consider their ebook spend to be such a small part of their overall budget that they don't worry about the size of their TBR.
I've bought 205 ebooks this year so far, and spent only £190 on them - less than £1 per ebook! £7.50 per week is well within my disposable income, even if it's a little more than I'm intending to average this year (around £6 per week).
