OK, please tell two friends: my Sony Librie ebook reader? The battery compartment failed. I can no longer use it on battery power and in several other places the case is falling apart, in a manner much like that described in
Fahrenheit 451 (additive in the plastic.)
I paid $450 for it and got 18 months. It didn't even make it two years.
Several people I know do well to finish even 1 book a month. $350 into 24 = $14 per book to own the Reader itself.
Clearly you need to be planning on reading more than a few books every month to get the overhead down on the reading device.
