I have a kindle wi fi. just coming up to 2 years old and see no reason to change it.
what gets me is the price of a kindle book is often only a Pound or two cheaper than a paper back. the main reasons for going e reader, is space and cost. but the cost can be too high in my opinion. |

My phone data plan is limited to 200 MB/month. Which I'm lucky to hit 100 of. Most of which is forums/facebook/internet/navigation/news. I download 2-5 books, that's what about 10 MB max? |

Using USD I pay $30 for data (up to 10G/Month without restrictions) and $11-15 for voice not using voice very much. But buying a phone every second or third year is around $700 (so that is $30 per month for 24 months interval). So monthly cost $75. So depending on what phone you get for the cost I would say that $67 CAD is not expensive. |

My iPhone 4 cost me £560 ($900), and I've now had it for 2 and a half years - 30 months. So my monthly costs have been 900/30 + 35 = $65/month. Not too dissimilar to yours. |
