Looking back at what I'd read over the past five years (I'm so pleased I started recording what I read), I find that I've read about $2650 worth of ebooks, and spent $2250 on ebooks. Hmm.... not so bad, after all.
Hey - my average spend over five years is exactly $450/£300 - my target for 2015!
So long as we're only spending 'surplus' income on ebooks, I suppose it's not really a problem. At least ebooks only take up hard disk space, not physical space.

Congrats on being in the black over the past five years!
I think it's one of those pesky defects of its virtues situations. If the books had a physical presence it would be a brake of sorts on the accumulation or at least a visible reminder. I've got unread pbooks around here, natch, but we're talking scores, not hundreds. But the ebook situation is to be preferred; I have no desire to end up like a Collyer.
