Well, thanks to credit cards (and sub-prime mortgages), you CAN buy what you can't afford, but it's probably a good practice that you don't.

However, there is, I think, a strong argument that other factors should come first, and if you can't afford a device that meets those other factors, just don't buy one, or save up until you can.

"I have a reader that hurts my eyes, strains my wrist, and has none of the books I want, but it was a great deal!"

We bought our reader based on:
1. It's features
2. Form factor of the device itself
3. Tied for third was our relationship with the vendor (we like shopping at Amazon), and price (we had nothing against B&N if their reader was much cheaper).
