If your number is negitive it means that you have saved more than the value of the reader itself and I believe that would be called your ROI (Return on Investment). I am far into the negitive numbers.
For me, time is what I've saved. My fire and kindle contain books and documents I need to read or review. By keeping these near me, I have a productive use for time unexpectedly spent waiting. It's amazing how much I've read and learned waiting for something. Even better, I do not feel all bothered when things take longer than expected -- it's just another opportunity to read.
