How many ebooks do you have right now? - Page 4

NavyDad6 · 08-23-2010, 07:00 AM

Calibre says 139, but that includes the Kindle User's Guide. I started reading/collecting E-books since the purchase of the K2 in Feb 09'.

Of the 139, 107 have been read. I have 32 on hot standby to read for my upcoming deployment and am looking for more to get me through to the end.

There are other items, but some are so short I don't consider them "books".

I've been buying them for 10 years and I have a decent library of around 500 books and I have read close to 400 of those. My wife is close to a 1000 though. She reads a lot more than I do. I'm pretty sure she has read all 1000 of hers or pretty close to it.

Calibre says 405 at the moment but there are probably a few odds and sods floating around in K4PC that I haven't :cough: moved across yet. I have read about 100 of the ones in my library.

Got 316 in mobipocket format right now, but I've started to reformat my library recently (originally, I had all my sources in HTML, now I"m reformatting to an epub-like structure), so that's not all of them. Those are the ones I already reformatted...

And I thought I had a lot, now I can sleep again, seeing how many other people have!

1000+

I have about 14,000 ebooks from differnt legal sources. Most of them are replacements for the roughly 9,000 hardback and paperback books I have collected and read over the years. A lot of them have been downloaded from ManyBooks, The Internet Archive-a great source for out of print and hard to find scholarly books-, from here in Mobileread. Blackmask before it was shut down, and the Franklin Free Library (now sadly shut down as well) when my Ebookman 911 was my main reader.

If I leave out public domain stuff (of which I have many thousands) and freebies I have exactly 800, of which I've read about 90%.
