Just wondering, for those who keep track, how many e-books you have read. More than 50? More than 100? I started keeping track when I got my eBookwise, and had to reconstruct my Palm reading from memory, so I may have missed a few. But here's my rough tally:
Free Reads (Gutenberg, etc.)
49 books
Fictionwise (Purchases)
27 books
Other (Tor freebies, author downloads)
11 books
Total: 87 books
NOTE: I probably read about a dozen novel-length fanfics too but I am not counting those. I may redo my spreadsheet and include them, I may not.
For those wondering about the cost (remembering that the free reads help amortize the total) here is my approximate spending:
On devices (not counting computers or devices bought for multi-purpose)
$300 (eBookwise, 2 Palm m125s, portion of iPod Touch)
On books (all from Fictionwise)
$376.6
Total spent:$676.6
So, if you divide that cost by the number of books I have read, the average cost per book is $7.78 wich is still cheaper than buying each of those books in paper
If you add in the Fictionwise purchases still on my to-read pile (I buy when there are sales, then read them when I can) my cost per book will fall to about $3.50.
So, for those keeping track, how many e-books have you read so far?
