YMMV but...probably the best $189 I ever spent.

The other responses have addressed your issues, but I'd like to chime in on libraries and ebooks. I listen to the NYT Books podcast and barely a week goes by when I don't hear about a book that I'd like to read. 80-90% of the time, my library of choice (Denver Public) has the book within 1-3 weeks. Is there a wait? Sure, sometimes, but it eventually shows up.

And nothing says you can't keep visiting your local library and checking out p-books. It's not either/or.

Think of it as broadening your horizons just a bit further. :-)
