Excellent point. I was guilty of this myself. I used to buy way more ebooks than I read. I think the initial rush to gobble up ebooks (either because of huge bargains or the wish to replace nostalgic favorites from their past) might be over. I can't be the only one transitioning to a "buy one/read one regimen. The instant availability of ebooks lends itself perfectly to such a practice.
