Or do people just like adding any ebooks they find on the offchance they may read them one day?

I want to stress I am not criticising those who do this. Just quite intrigued!
I have several thousand ebooks in my library, downloaded/purchased from many different places. Certainly I have no hope of ever reading them all, I'm not a particularly fast reader. But I don't just add any ebooks to my library. Only those I'm actually interested in and might potentially read one day.

The majority of my ebooks are from Amazon, Kobo, Google Play and Smashwords. Many are from other sources, including Gutenberg.

I don't use the Amazon cloud. All my ebooks reside in my Calibre library.
