Books made out of actual trees? Probably 10-20 (double that if you count technical books/manuals).

eBooks: 300-400 (maybe more?)

62, I just counted. For someone in a tiny flat, who had one rucksack of possessions to their name when they moved in, I think that’s pretty good.

I used to have several Billy bookcases full but homelessness is a bitch.

Completely off-topic, but I hate that we use averages for everything. Mode or median would be better for this because then you have a better picture of how many books people generally get - people like y’all with 100+ books throw off that average just as badly as people like me who have like, 3 books lol.

Physical, actual books? Probably less than 10. I’m one of those heathens that didn’t mine adopting ebooks and audiobooks. I’ve moved somewhere around 20 times, and eventually it just became easier to shift everything to digital and donate my physical books.

I have around 600-700 books, that include study books and novels.

High hundreds for sure, maybe about 1000. Some on bookcases, some in boxes, some stacked on the floor.

I don’t really know. Too many for me to bother counting them but probably in the high hundreds. In our living room we’ve got four or five meters worth of book shelves that are completely filled up and the overflow has started piling up in other rooms.

So at least a bunch :)

My wife has maybe a couple hundred books. If you don’t count my comics or my RPG manuals-- for reasons– I own maybe a couple dozen. Counting the rooms we don’t normally keep books in, we own a couple of times that average (if it’s correct) per room in our house.

I think I have 12,000 books on my ereader

Hundreds. Maybe 1000.

I think you’re going to find higher than average numbers here vs. the general public.

I specifically try to keep the number of physical books I own to a minimum, mainly by borrowing and giving away/selling them. I also moved some two years ago, that’s alway a push to “diet” more.

This being said, I still have way too many books. I’d guesstimate some 120 leisure books (read some 80-90) and some 20 work books (read/studied all of them). Some 50 virtual ones, read all but two I’m currently reading.

Hundreds of you count eBooks, about 5 if you don’t.

Physical: Somewhere beyond 10k. There is the living room with 50m of shelving for novels, etc. There is the studio with the professional books of my wife and me, and there is a large amount of books stored in cardboard boxes in the attic and the basement. And yes, apart from my wifes’ professional books, I’ve read them. Including the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Digital: My digital library has close to 15k books at the moment.

E books: over 800 (read like 50 😭) Physical books: around 300?
