Not to be rude but what are you smoking? If someone doesn't want to pay $200 for a reader, why would they pay $720 over three years for a measly one book a month? Perhaps if it was an unlimited subscription model a la Napster where you can listen to as much music as you want then perhaps I could see that working. Otherwise you could just buy a reader for $200 and still have $520 left to spend on books (52 paperbacks) and not worry about being locked into yet another plan.
