I like standard ebooks. Haven't really explored Gutenberg yet

Part of my collection is public domain, part has been accumulated over the decades and another part is technical manuals, most of which were free. I have collected ebooks for quite a few years with the first big boost to my collection being the CDs that Baen placed in some of their hard covers. Then there are the books that are virtually in my library—library and other loans where I keep an entry in my library though not the book itself.
At one time, I worked out that the average cost for my ebooks was ~$1.56 Cdn so $28,000 over 20 years or $1,400 per year. For me, that is not in seriously rich territory.
