I have 3 dozen on my Kindle atm, and another 3-4 dozen archived. Only 8 of the books on my Kindle are to-be-read; the rest are currently-reading or have-read-but-not-archived-yet.

My Calibre shows me having 722 books. However, 114 of them are marked as "Archive - DNF." I just can't bring myself to throw away a book, even an electronic one I couldn't finish!

I have 105 in my "To Be Read" pile - which is a constantly changing number (mostly increasing), what with all the free book offers out there.

The rest are mostly e-copies of old favorites.

Never thought I'd say this about books I have access to: I don't have enough time to read all these!

What a neat (and new!) feeling.

Marilyn

P.S. That's not to mention the access I have to seven public libraries and their e-books. So many books - so little time...

Why throw them away? 1,000,000 E-books take up no more room on the shelf than a box of tissues. Well, an external hard drive, that is!

I can do what I want with mine. They are either non-DRMed e-pubs or p-books I have scanned.

I'm showing 166 in calibre. I bought most of those, although a few were free downloads. (I only download something if I'm pretty sure I will read it at some point.) I haven't put any of the public domain classics in calibre because I know when I want to read one I won't have any trouble getting it from somewhere then.

Can you say 'obsessed?' *grin*

Are they Google books, or what?
