Given the size of my TBR mountain, I do buy few ebooks these days. I just keep up with a dozen or so favorite series/authors.
I've also spent more time listening to audiobooks than reading ebooks in the last few years, which isn't helping me get through that list any faster, either.

Over 200 so far this year. Of course, the majority are backlist, new indie authors and non fiction on subjects I got interested in. I would say that 20 or so are new releases this year. Most authors only come out with one or two books a year.
My biggest issue is finding new authors. Discoverability is very much a hit or miss thing these days and has been for a number of years. As older authors slow down, it's getting harder and harder to replace them. When Baen was at his peak, he had four or five major authors that I liked at any one time and usually had at least one new book that I wanted each month, frequently more. Now it's more along the lines of 3 or 4 books a year that I want.
