Only if your buying patterns are in line with a significant number of ebook reader owners, which so far doesn't seem to be the case.

If a huge swath of people shared your propensities, I think you'd see substantial differences in the buying habits of the ebook reader owners. It's also possible that for every one new ebook owner who cuts back on purchases, another increases purchases due to, for example, greater convenience, easier impulse purchases and so forth.
