I finished up 2008 having read 140 books in total, 56 of them electronic books. So far in 2009, I've read 78 books, 31 of which were electronic books. So that makes 87 electronic books in all.

I like how easy it is with LibraryThing to check on stuff like that now. I can even tell you what book I read each month since I started keeping track:

I use Goodreads for the same purpose. http://www.goodreads.com/review/list...i?shelf=ebooks

Yes, I read paper books. I have too much fun in my book swapping group to go entirely to electronic books.
