I could work out like this:

Books I'd really like to get this year but can't justify the expense: $250

Books I'm perfectly satisfied with available for free or low cost: $10

A Kindle: $79

If I happen to want a Kindle (either a first reader that I was going to buy anyway, or just interested in getting another), and Amazon offered an Audible-like deal such as:

"Free" Kindle, get 2 ebooks of your choice per month for $9.99, one year commitment.

That makes the cost of "Books I really want" plus "The Kindle I want" total only around $120.

That could be attractive, even if I wasn't going to spend the $250.
