I bought my eReader for the free books. I have around 400 ebooks already(bought my kindle in November), most of which are free. If I come upon a good author from my free books, I then look to see if my library has any other books from that author. If not then I investigate the paperback price versus the ebook price. If the price difference is negligible, I buy the paperback because I will actually own the book and be able to lend it out to family and friends. I guess what I'm saying is I didn't really buy an eReader to switch over to only ebooks, I bought it to get the free stuff, lol. I'm a cheapskate and between all the free books I'm downloading, and all the books I'm checking out at the library, I have no fear of ever running out of reading material.
