Umm... let's put it this way. In Spring 2009, did a survey for my reading habit in 2008...
I figured between eBooks (40%, has since gone to 60-70%), paperbacks & hardbacks (often returned to the store after reading), and library books I would have bought if I had funds...
About $1200 in a year. Easily $800 stayed in my home (e, Pback & selected hb)
I do some proof reading for romance Publishers - and have done as many as 10 eBooks in a month, plus 50-100% that many reading during my commute.
Given the above $ amount, that's why I got into proofing. My 2nd job requires me to be awake & alert, and most of my reading $ was related to that. Proofing kills 2 birds - I stay awake, and "earn" books-as-payment that I want & would have to be selective about due to funds.
