Hmm... If I just did re-reads of what is on my Sage (~2400 books), I could avoid buying new books for 20 months or so. If I went with my Clara HD, with it's 13,482 books, I could avoid buying new books for about 9 years. Though the Clara HD was more about how many books can I stuff it with after upgrading the internal storage to 128GB and will it work with that many books.

I really don't need to imagine that since I currently have over 13K books in my digital collection. I have a Finished column in calibre which is updated every time I connect my ereader to calibre, it becomes a matter of clicking on the Finished column to sort.
On my Sage, I just select Unread in the filter for Books view which currently shows 3 books as unread. Also nice is that the filter options show the number of books in that category without having to select an option. So currently 2407 books of which 14 books are in progress (Reading) and 2390 books are Finished. The remaining filters are less useful to me. 286 books are Purchased (synced directly to the ereader), 87 books are Kobo Plus (Kobo's equivalent to KU without silly limits on the number of books or exclusivity) plus Imported and Downloaded which I never use. I can also use the Authors and Series views. There is also a Collections view which has one collection (Finished). I used to have more collections but when series view was introduced, 99% of my collections were obsoleted since it is just faster to search for title, author or series than to scroll through a few hundred collections.
BTW, the in progress books are all cookbooks which are hard to just read through since I tend to go back and look at multiple recipes in multiple books.
And yes, I do read that many books per month. If the NHL and CFL went out of business, I could get even more reading done.
