Probably saved 150$ not buying books from the second hand store.
Even at a quarter a piece they add up, and the good ones are 50 Cents.
Most likely would have spent another 30$ or so from the Science Fiction book club.
I figure I've paid for my first Jetbook, and I'm working on the second one.
Plus I'm reading better stuff than I can usually find 2nd hand, series, etc.
Of course I'm down more than that in actual dollars spent on e-readers.
But I've paid to put 4 other e-readers in family members hands.
Consider that both my Dad and my Father in law were having trouble finding large size books to read. What I've lost in $$ I've gained in other ways.
What is it worth to have a father around at 86 who is still able to read?
Not to mention giving him something to do so Mom gets some piece and quiet.
