How many books in your library?

I'm late to the party, but I haven't seen mentioned yet the major source of the bought books in my Calibre library: what I think of as the Kobopalooza or the Kobocalypse. Namely, that stretch when Kobo offered multi-use 90% discount coupons. Moreover, at that time, Ebates.com (now Rakuten) gave an additional 5% off the list price, for a total 95% discount. At a nickel on the dollar, I bought pretty much whatever I could think of.

I think it must have been before I was even aware that Kobo existed? My first Kobo purchases are from 2012.

Or maybe it was before I was aware that MR or those coupons existed.

Around 200, mostly from Standard Ebooks and Project Gutenberg. I keep adding classics faster than I can read them. The Standard Ebooks editions are so nicely formatted that I keep grabbing more "just in case."
