I really like the way Calibre manages these "ebooks" for me. It's not just great for novels and such, but it's also a great way for me to organize my documents, retrieve them from the built-in Calibre server, etc.
I'm close to the same neighbourhood when it comes to the number of ebooks in my personal collection. I also set up another collection with about 15,000 documents which is work related and now managed by our corporate librarian.

It wasn't the size of the collection that bothered me, it was the "anywhere in the digital world of the web..." answer given by gianni_1. To me that did not suggest a collection of legitimately obtained ebooks. Sadly, I had already believed my quota of impossible things before breakfast so reverted to my cynical self.
