In contrast to those who've spent less with e-readers, my wife and I spent MORE this year than we have in the past.....
Previously, all our reading came from the library. I go through anywhere from 2 to 5 books per week, and my wife would frequently read some of the same books.
With the e-readers, we still get some books from the library, but we've purchased titles from B&N and a couple other sources. My wife is reading a lot more with the Nook than she did on paper, and is exclusively electronic. I'm still combining e-books and paper since some of what I read isn't available in e-book form from the library but is on paper...
So, overall, our spending has gone up at least a couple hundred dollars from when we were exclusively on paper.
