Wow, 180,000 books!?

I'm really interested why people have such big libraries given one can't read that many books in a lifetime. Is it just that some users like to 'collect' electronic books and have them available 'in case' you want to read them?

Or is there a concern that books on standard e-books or gutenberg or wherever will become unavailable at some point and so won't be downloadable when you want to read them? So you are downloading vast amounts of such books now to safeguard against a future risk? [I find that standard e-books is often updating and improving books as people read them and find the odd error in formatting. So I wait until I want to read it as then I'll have the most polished version]

Or something else?
