I usually read a book right away when I get it. So my stack isn't very big, like three books.

I don't have a literal stack but if I did it would be tremendous.

I usually order more than 1 book at a time, i like to order discount books from B&N and just buy 4-5 of em and try em out, that and I almost always have a few dozen e-books waiting

I really hate the e-book concept, I just like having the paperback in my hands and reading it.

I doubt I'll ever buy or want a nook/kindle etc.

Plus my stack grew to about 10 books, I went to Chapters and bought two books by R.A. Salvatore and two more in the Ice and Fire series. Plus I have six WoT books waiting.

ebooks are great, especially if you go on vacation, you can have a dozen books take up half the space of a paperback
