Ebooks have totally turned me into a book hoarder. Fortunately, I don't actually purchase that many, as there are lots of classics that I want to read. I was never tempted to buy 10 books at once at Barnes & Noble, but it is different in a virtual bookstore. The "other people who liked this book liked these books" feature has no equivalent at a bookstore or library.

I totally agree with the above statement....
I have just under 300 on my Sony. I have yet to buy a book, as there have been so many that I've found, or been 'turned onto' from the kind folks here. Although I love to read, my time available is very limited...and I generally fall asleep about 5 minutes after starting to read when I go to bed, and life just sorta gets in the way of reading other times....anyway....I'm embarassed to say I've probably only read 10 book since getting my Sony in May. I, too, have found many authors I wouldn't have looked at in the 'pbook days', and have them tucked safely away on my reader for future reading. And lots of them are from our fellow MR writers.
I started a Neal Gaiman yesterday, after hearing he'll be speaking today here in Cleveland (not that I'll be able to attend)...someone I'd never heard of before. This forum certainly expands my horizons, opens up so many choices I'd not find on my own.
