I'm at close to 1000, I started reading ebooks in about 97 or so but that was project gutenberg on a computer so there it was slow going - then in 99 I got a Compaq Aero and Baen started publishing and I met PeanutPress and the rocket ebook and it took off. I've cycled on and off how exclusively ebook I am, depending on formats and devices. Right now I'm at 90% ebooks, 10% paper.

The number's a rough one, based on palm reader files purchased, fictionwise purchased and guesses on public domain, baen and other assorted sources.
