I really have never counted, but I have a lot. Probably around 50 actual copies of books, and I couldn't tell you how many ebooks I have.

I have hundreds of paper books I lost count as had to box them up and put them into storage! I also have over 500 now on my kindle. I love reading and think the kindle has made it much easier to get new books, although I love going and getting my paper books out and re reading them .

I just did a purge of my books not too long ago and have around 50 now. I hate collecting things and finding room for all my books was getting to be too much work.

I'm not sure if I'm embarrassed or proud to say I own 250 books kindle editions. These are minus the paperback ones I have on my room shelves:)

I used to have a room full but when kids started coming, I pared it down quite a bit. Now I hoard e-books and have thousands of them.

About 300 Hardbacks, 50 paperbacks, and about 40 e-books, equals a lot of fun reading books!

Only a vey few and mostly about antique and collectible fishing lures. Usually I read library books or digital. When I do buy a hard copy for myself, after I've finished with it I donate it to our local library to share with other readers.

I have crates of books (books from when I was little) I would estimate around 700 children books and about forty books I've recently started collecting so I own anywhere from 740ish books

I had to give away/sell about a third of my collection when it got past 600... but the paper books that I got rid of I found for my Kindle, which currently has over a thousand books. Yes, it's an addiction!

We have about 700 books at the moment. The number fluctuates often. One bedroom has been turned into a "Book Nook", with wall to wall bookcases and also bookcase aisles in between. There is a few more bookcases throughout the house. Fiction is all on computer, alphabetically by author; non fiction is a much smaller number and in a separate bookcase.

I used to tons of actual paperback books but cleaned off my shelf when I got my Kindle Fire a couple of years ago. Now i have primarily ebooks, which are convenient to read anywhere. I still LOVE visiting bookstores and the library though and looking through actual physical books.

Well it got to the point where I was ordering 20 or so books every couple months.... We were running out of book room so I was gifted an iPad. I boxed my books and lost count after 6th big Rubbermaid container. Maybe over 300 and gosh I don't know I have probably read over 300 ebooks in the last bit.
