Over a dozen, but about 5 were from your sale...

This poll is very self-selecting. Most of the readers of e-pub are probably e-publishers. You should repost the poll in the general forum (and include the 100s response -- maybe 11-20, 21-50, 51-100, 101+ would be good ranges).

I know it's way more than 11. One day I'll actually count how many I have. 
I own around 40 PDF products, though I got perhaps 10 of those for one low price (from the Polyhedron e-Publishing Pack sale). And if it matters for your survey, none of them are scans of older D&D/AD&D products; all are 3.0/3.5 stuff or for other current games.
40 PDFs for a guy who never bought, or even considered buying, a PDF product until Silverthorne Games released The Book of Templates Deluxe Edition. When was that...just last October?
Guess I jumped on the bandwagon rather hard...

Hmmm....
Going through my RPGnow account history shows 78 items purchased, since last March.
And I bought about 40 WotC ESDs back before I even heard of RPGnow.
And of course, I did buy the Dragon magazine archive, 250+ magazines in PDF on CD-ROM, but I don't know if you'd consider that 1 item bought, 250+ items bought, or not a PDF at all.

I think the PDF market is one of the most brilliant things for the industry. First of all WotC can run around and sell the old books and maduals for a low price making those who love nostalgia happy. Secondly, it gives the 'joe on the street' the ability to actually self-publish and get lots of feedback as to whether he is any good. Finally, if you dump all that stuff to disk and put it on your shelf it saves a ton of space.

Over two dozen. A mix of World Works terrain, old D&D ESDs, and 3e supplements.
Of these the ones that see the most use are Adventure Design Kit(TSR ESD The Chases sheet actually works better with 3.x than it did with 1e), Librum Equitus Compliled (I have sent several customers happily after this book), Book of Templates Deluxe, World Works' Dungeon Works (I have Gothic Realms, but I printed up way too much Dungeon Works in my early enthusiasm, enthusiasim which fortunately is still present...), WW Interior Works: Castles & Keeps (especially the stairs), and Village Works (again, I have sent at least two customers questing after WW material) and while I haven't used it much yet I have read A Magical Medieval Society from cover to cover.
In the Saddle has been used a bit as well, and I amusing Campaign Planner retroactively to suggest reading material for the players in my campaign. Elements of Magic is waiting for a later campaign, just too different for my current players.
The only PDF purchases I am at all unhappy with are some of the Cheep sets, compared to World Works they just don't measure up.
The Auld Grump, there are a lot more, but those are particularly worth mentioning.
