    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 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 :)

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

    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.

    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.

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

    eBooks: 300-400 (maybe more?)

    Hundreds. Maybe 1000.

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

    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.
