Even if I was completely geo restricted by Amazon, they still have enough books that I am interested in to keep me reading for years.
Seems like I am the anomaly on this, but I don't worry about paying more for an ebook than the paper version.
Don't get me wrong, I wish ebooks were always cheaper than the pbook, but if it costs me a couple of bucks extra, so what? I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
Besides, that couple dollar savings is easily offset by the convenience of not having to drive to the book store (which costs money). My time is worth something as well.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
I don't have a huge income or anything, but books are where I spend any disposable income that I do have, and since I only read e-books these days, those are the ones I buy. Life is too short to wait on somebody else's decision if there is something that I want to do, and I can afford to do it now.
