If you had hoped to replace your paper books with all ebooks, it looks like that's not going to happen, because you are right, ebooks are mostly expensive. But if you think of your reader as a supplement to your paper books, it is still useful. Start putting books on hold at the Singapore library. In a few weeks, they will start coming in and then you will have free books on your ereader. In the meantime, keep on reading your paper books! (and keep buying the $2 books you find.) If you keep on putting books on hold, you will keep on getting books later (although I have to warn you: there will come a day when all your holds come in at once, and you won't be able to read them all in 2 weeks! Yes, it's frustrating!).
And also, you have to keep checking out the free and cheap ebook blogs or this site's "Deal and Freebies" forum. Most are crap, but there are occasional gems. If that doesn't sound fun to you, or you are the type to "need it now" rather than waiting for library books to come in, then maybe the reader is not for you.
