In a way, I kind of have. When I first got my ereader I went for freebies and tons of freebies. My e-reader was stuffed with books I really didn't have much of a curiosity about except for the fact they were free.

A while ago I reviewed my library, and looked at what I am actually interested in keeping, and deleted a bunch of books I knew I would never read. Several hundred, actually. Most of what I kept were from MR, Gutenberg and books that had actually cost me some money.

I now mostly buy from Amazon and Google play, I focus less on the cost, (although I still have a limit) and more on the "do I want the book?" aspect.

Being more judicious in my choices has helped me maintain more of an interest in my reading.
