Wow, you're doing really good! I have 225 books bought from Kobo. About 90% bought on sale. I rarely buy books at full price unless I'm reading right away. And that's not counting the books I've bought from Baen bundles that are sitting in calibre. Plus some freebies. I went and did a purge of all the freebies that I'll never read so there's a lot less in there. Yikes that's a lot of books.

And speaking of Baen, I was tempted buy the bundles again. Sure they're a good deal but then that's about 40 more books I won't get to any time soon. There's one in the bundles I might get but I'll just get it when it's released, so it's only one book.
