Hi. I was forced by financial and other circumstances to leave my country of birth in 2015. At the time I had a wall-sized bookcase of paperbacks, which I had collected since my schooldays, and was forced to give away. A couple of these I had even produced myself by converting from e-books. I even scanned and converted one of my paperbacks to .epub, .mobi and .pdf format. Since discovering Calibre and a few sources of free e-books, I have managed to build up an e-book collection which includes most of those books, as well as a great number of other titles. I now have a collection which I will never complete reading before I die. I still continue to add to the collection.

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

You're not alone in having more ebooks than you can read.

I noticed that! My wife thinks I'm mad. She has difficulty getting enough books to read.

I also tend to be on the hunt for new books almost continuously. You might want to check out the Ebook Buying Addicts' Support Thread.
