I have finished only several dozen of books on a Reader - because I only have it for a relatively short time. Yet I have read many hundreds of e-books over many years. I have started with a "bombarded out" 286 notebook with 2MB of RAM, grayscale 640x480 display, without battery and even harddisk. You simply place a book (or a part of the book) on a bootable DOS floppy togtether with a simple reader.

well ... , if you go to sleep 1 hour later and you spend that hour reading ebooks, and if you do it every night for about 10 years, you will also have read many hundred ebooks.
When I was younger I was able to devour at least 5 paper books per week. Every week. Except for holidays, of course. During holidays I had more time for reading ;-)
