Free books.
Literally I was going to place an order for $50 of public domain books printed (a couple from the Planetary Stories line from Paizo and a couple of A. Merritt's stuff) and saw that they had a new Kindle for $139. So I changed gears and got the Kindle.
It's actually pretty depressing that most of my favorite authors are not only dead, but they've been dead long enough to be out of copyright in most countries. But I don't like most modern writing. Then again, I don't really like modern movies or TV shows, either. And the new books I do read are almost entirely historical fiction...
