I agree with Elfwreck above, Yes, I was able to scrape together the money on birthday and christmas to get e-readers (my husband now has the former one I had). But I was counting on the reader to "pay for itself" via all the free material I am able to download. (Gutenberg, MR, the library, feedbooks, Smashwords, etc).

Much like my digital camera pays for itself in that I don't have to buy and process film, and I can afford to snap all kinds of crappy photos and then delete them if I don't like them. I use my e-reader the same way, download the cheap/free stuff, use library loans.

It's not a contradiction in terms to own a computer/e-reader etc, and have a modest budget to "feed" these devices.
