Well, and that's the thing - he might be a relatively avid reader, but simple math would show that at 150 books a year, it'd take him over 133 years to read everything he's downloaded!

I absolutely get the 'never be without a book' obsessively over-collecting. I do that myself. Ever since I've had a paycheck, I've always gone on book splurges where I buy 10 books, read 5, buy another 10 ... so the backlog of unread gets greater. BUT each of the books has been evaluated as something I theoretically want to read. Bulk downloads don't do that, that's just having for the sake of hoarding.
