Some users voted for 20+ books per month; seems like an awful lot to me!
Unless they are businesses or collectors, or people filling in their "last month's purchase" (and not buy as much or anything the rest of the year), it's a bit hard to believe...

I mean 20+books per month, means you need to read at least a book per day, unless maybe smallbooks of a couple of pages, are been seen as a book purchase too.
Well, I have bought 278 books from Fictionwise in my first 6 months of having a reader. ~40 were short stories or novelettes. Maybe 50-60 were rebuys of pbooks that I have read. I have been stockpiling a lot from all the great sales. I have read 95 in my bookshelf. My overall savings has been 50%, including 6 years of membership. Once I get through reading everything currently in my bookshelf, my reader will have paid for itself.

I expect for the next 6-12 months my purchases will be quite low. Except if I can get some more ebook copies of my existing pbooks.
