There is value that I have gained from my JBL that it is hard to put a price on.

First there is the convenience. A few minutes on the web, and a few disinfecting, lets
me have any book available. (I just put "Broke" on my JBL, took maybe five minutes.)
The pricing may be hampered by the big publishing houses, but ebooks are still a little
cheaper as well as being almost instantly available. Just remembering to pickup a specific
book while I am out and about, can be iffy at my age.

One of the main reasons I got a dedicated reading device was to have a little more
convenient sized display in a light weight device, my PDA is OK, but nowhere as nice
as the JBL. Once everyone has "Obamacare", you will come to understand what it is
like to have to deal with the waits involved, interacting with bureaucratic organizations
like us vets do with the VA. My costs for everything I spent on my JBL, was covered in
one hospital visit.

Luck;
Ken
