I've probably read or tried the vast majority of ebooks (3500+) that I own. I've grabbed very few PD or free books just because it's free. When I "buy" (i.e. actually buy or download from a free site) a book it's because I'm interested in actually reading the book. Some I read the first chapter and decide it's not for me though.

I keep all my books on my iPad because I never know what book I might be in the mood for. I re-read books a lot. I keep all my books in CC, then transfer books that I'm either actively reading, or books that I plan to read to Marvin. Most of the time, when I first buy a book and download it to CC, I will transfer it to Marvin.
