People that hard up for money aren't moving in droves to buy the cheaper devices, even when they know there's freebies out there.

I belong to a paperback swap site, and while a handful here and there are holding their breath for sales on devices and diving in for the freebies, it's not a lot. Especially since they see the used physical book as still having value, as swap offerings, game trades, box swaps, credit at used book stores and the like.

Those that are having that hard a time aren't shelling out for the devices, they're sticking with what's cheap and has a turnover value.
