I have around 90 after almost 3 years of them building up. I guess I should just be happy I've read more than I have in my TBR list. The 100 discounted books every month have been killer for my TBR list as have all of the free and super cheap books.
A bunch of free books lately has now brought my TBR to 72 plus 16 short story collections. But after reading some of your posts (325, really?),
I don't feel so bad!
I have over 400! I can't seem to stop myself from downloading freebies that interest me. I also love the chance to read authors who are new to me. Some I have downloaded at a cheap price because I either love the author or simply can't afford the full price. It's an addiction, but I look at it like this: There are WAY WORSE addictions (and costly!) out there & this doesn't hurt my family or my life. :)

I have 28, which is actually pretty bad when you think I've only had my Kindle less than 3 weeks. I also have a Nook and made the mistake of downloading every free and discounted book that looked like something I might read. I now have over 500 books on that account. I went through the other night and archived all but the ones I knew I wanted to read in the next year. So I've resolved not to make the same mistake on the Kindle. The ones I have though are ones that were fairly inexpensive and ones I really want to read, but I'm not buying more until I read the ones that I have. It's far too easy to "collect" ebooks.
Dorie, you are so right. I have about 350 TBR books on my Kindle and it's all because of the freebies that I find that sound so good. I guess I want to read almost everything! I think I need to be more discriminating. :-)
Definitely me too, Karen. We just have to learn to restrain ourselves, LOL. When it comes to books though, it's very difficult!
Dorie & Karen, I agree! It's so hard to restrain ourselves!! I don't download all the freebies, but I will download those which really interest me. I love finding new authors/series & what better way to do it?? I'm also trying to read some classics (which I never did in school~~some 20 yrs ago!) and I'm glad they're free. I cringe to think how much money I would've spent if I'd paid full price for freebies! I've had my Kindle since late 2008. YIKES!!! LOL

I just archived a ton of books on my Kindle so that the ones I truly want to read don't get lost in the mess.
I used to only have one or two on my Kindle. Then I made the mistake of signing up for an email that lists all the free books. I can't help myself and I probably have 80 - 90 right now. I only read that many in a year so I am already behind the 8 ball. My Goodreads TBR list is well over 400 but that includes the freebies I have downloaded.
Way too many, I don't want to count or I'll feel guilty!

Good grief. I hope you copied and pasted that list. I hate to think that you typed the whole list just to share with us.
34 now that's kind of embarrassing
Anthony, waterstones trained me to buy in 3s to take up offers so I guess I always buy in groups. Plus you see one then another.. I've just got to early 90s.
And I thought 11 was stretching it a little!But yes, I buy in batches and then read, trouble is I'm not reading too much at the moment, I've been a little busy.
I like having a lot of books on my Kindle, but it can make it hard to find a specific title. I've been trying to remember to archive a book after I've read it to keep the clutter down as much as possible. It's great to have a lot of choices, though, when I don't really know what I want to read. Like going to the library or a huge bookstore & just wandering through the aisles, picking up a book, looking at the first few pages, putting it down, picking up some other book and doing the same until I find one that is exactly right. I figure I have about 50 active books, many free but a lot 99 cent up to $2.99 books. Another 50 or so (not all of them have been read) are in the archived folder.
All of them! ;) Seriously. If I don't want to read the book right now or have already finished it with no desire to reread it soon, then I move it to my archive.
77! That's a lot more than I thought. >.<
I automatically sort books into folders when I download them - basic genres and a TBR folder. When I go to start a new book, it comes out of the TBR folder and goes into a Currently Reading one, then finished books are simply stored by genre. Since I add new books at roughly the same rate that I read, my TBR folder hovers around 95-100 at any given time.
Well, I have my Kindle since Oktober and so there are now 15 books which I have to read on my Kindle. But I have very much books in physical copies in my shelfs, so right now I have to read 201 books. But only 15 on my Kindle so far, because I don't like to have so many on it, that I can't find the books I wanna read.
I usually have around 20. Most are samples, so I don't actually buy the books until I've picked it to read. And sometimes I forget why I got the sample in the first place, so it can be fun rediscovering a book.
490. Over 450 free. I use collection to keep them organized. :)

Me, too. Either from Amazon or Project Gutenburg, as well as a bunch from the Baen free library (not classics, but free none the less). I believe my TBR list has grown to 240, give or take. Good thing for Collections, or it would be a mess!

I received my Kindle in Oct. 2010. Since then I've read 188 books and 222 short stories, novellas and plays.TBR: 300 (so far) :D
Around 200. A good chunk of them are short stories, and others are free. I guess some people don't really read through the free ones, but I do. I usually open them up, read through at least the first chapter, and if it hasn't gotten my attention I get rid of it. It's nice to have enough stories on there to always know I have something to read, in any mood!
All of them. I move Kindle books to my archive as soon as I've read them, so everything still on the kindle is TBR.Currently I have 111 TBR on Kindle, not including the ones I'm currently working on. I have about the same number of TBR books on my physical bookshelves.
I'm working on getting the number down -- haven't bought any new books in a month. I'm determined to stop buying books until I read what I have.

I did copy and paste and I have loads more added, just never posted them x
I think about there is about 90 books on it that I need to read. I want a bit mad downloading all the free classics the first day I got it.
I did the same thing the day mine arrived. :D
about 400!!!! Addicted to downloading freebies off amazon. I seem to be reading more though so may get through them sometime in the next decade.
I feel like a piker. I only have four unread, plus probably twice that many samples. I'd go batty flipping through too many titles hunting for the one I want. I have trouble letting go of the ones I've read, though, even to archive them.
Holy cow, Fiona!Since I posted on 1.18.12 when I was at 60 TBR and 15 short story anthologies, I have gone nowhere but up!
Now I am just short of 100 TBR(which does include some short stories) and 20 short story collections.
I am now up to 1,116 Kindle books (including about 3-4 pages of what my dad wrote for me to add) lol
I have hundreds of books on my kindle, which works out since I have much more than that on my TBR list here. I've got a lot of reading to do! :\

I'm the same. I'd posted that I had about 90 books on Feb 6th, now just over a week later I now have 119 novels on my kindle to be read and that's not counting all the short stories and fan fic stories I have on it too. I think I definitely have an addiction... lol :P

Hi!
My name is Charlene and I'm a kindleholic!
Btw, there is free 6 pack of books from Scott Nicholson today. Ghost Box: Six Supernatural Novels. : )
I have about 96 but that includes samples. I keep all read books in genre folders and unread in one huge collection.
around 16 but my plan is to read all before I start buying more
Anika wrote: "around 16 but my plan is to read all before I start buying more"Anika, I used to have a plan like that...but it went out the window!! LOL
Good Luck! :)
647...I have a book addiction. I normally finish every book I start, but lately if it has not fully grabbed my attention by the 20 percent mark it gets deleted.
