From the 1150 before it got passed to a weekly road warrior I really couldn't say. Let's be technical and estimate "lots".

I can be precise about the numbers for the ereader used currently since once something is read it goes into the "read" folders. From November to now, I've read 415 items. Wow! I must be amazing!

sigh. I wish. To be honest, only about 100 of those would really be classified as books. The rest would be the standard short stories, novellas, and various small ebooks.

One thing that has increased has been the number of technical papers and articles read. It's nice to be able to read a quick white paper or a report at leisure without having to boot up a computer or haul around printouts until you are ready to read them. It's like always having the interesting article you were reading at hand instead of being buried under a bigger pile of papers. (Great heavens! Is there anything that screams out "nerd" more than finding technical and scientific white papers as interesting as popular mainstream sellers?)

Now if you will excuse me, I have 10 minutes before I need to head out for dinner and find that will be just enough time to read about the current state of converting plant sugars into usable commercial plastics. (Yes, I AM serious about it. Like I said: nerd.)
