Point isn't really whether or not Kindle or other eBooks are overpriced, But that the OP wants to know if it's worth having a Kindle for free or low priced books, IMHO the simple answer is YES ...

I have Lots of free books on my readers, hundreds in total, I have many books I have bought, but ALL are bought at very low prices ranging from around £0.60 to around £4.99 and Most are LESS than £2.50 ...

I have enough books to last until several years after my current eReaders have died and gone to the eReader Store in the sky,

If you want to then purchase other books ... costing more you can, but I think a Kindle would VERY quickly PAY for itself!

Look into the sites already mentioned here, cost it out ... I'm sure you can't go wrong ...
