In the UK we have VAT added to ebooks that isn't on paperback books. So in theory buying an ebook is 20% more expensive. I've looked around and it seems there are fewer options in terms of deals over here than in the USA, that also adds to the price. Most of my books are second hand (I'm a student), which has also knocked the price of my old book buying habits.

I don't want to just fill it up - hence why I've only downloaded a couple from Gutenberg. I'd like to use my reader for academic work, but the cost for me to get the books I need is currently prohibitive for me to get them all for my reader - I'll be doing a balance of second hand, library, and a few ebooks, until my university library allows me to download ebooks!
