. I could do that if a) I had Money to burn , b) I was likely to live long enough to read them
now don't pretend they are all PD series, please. 2000 retail books, call it 10k dollars, is not something most folks buy commonly and frequently, just to have cleaner formatting ?

It's not always piracy. My mom amassed 4800 books in 6 months from kindle. I recently had to go help a pensioner in town, she complained her "ebook" reader is too slow to open. Went and had a look, she's using K4PC, it took me 15-20 minutes of waiting time for it too open. Her collection is staggering. She tells me she spends between an hour to 4 hours "shopping" a day at amazon (using one of the daily free amazon book sites) her collection last time I looked was over 26K of free amazon books.
