Anyone Addicted to Hoarding Academic Textbooks on Your Computer?

Seriously, people, I have about 35 GB (about 5,000 or so separate files) of nothing but STEM-related ebooks on my HDD right now. This isn't even counting the 5 GB more I have of Humanities/Social Sciences/Fiction books.
 
I am not...yet! Where does one find such ebooks? Because I would LOVE to have stuff like that.
 
Mind if I beg to rip you off? :)
My lack of effective texts, and such is one reason I may have issues with self-education. (Lack of mentor/academic type instructor but at a different learning pace is another)
 
I have great collection of mathematics and physics and some geochemistry books in my shelf. Physical books, as I much more rather read those. I order them overseas so they're all in English, not in my mother tongue, which means there's more accurate information on everything. They're mostly used, but scientific litters won't go old like that as you probably know :>
Then of course I've all my lecture notes and some additional texts, that my professors have provided, on my computer too, but my physical collection is what I'm proud of.
