While I admit that calling it an 'addiction' is just a bit of fun, this is actually a serious thread for people who wish to make the best use of their time and money when acquiring ebooks.

If it were a joke thread, I would have started it in the lounge and labelled it as such.

I currently have over 1,100 ebooks on my TBR pile. The vast majority of them are books that I've bought, although some are freebies or public domain. Clearly, buying and curating books that I'll (probably) never read is a waste of time and money.

By starting this thread and with the suggestions and advice of others, I have managed to make sure that the books that I buy and any freebies are books that I really will get to reading.

If you are happy with the number of books you're buying or getting as freebies, then this thread is not the place for you.
