I hear you. Do you have a public library that lends e-books? I've found I can borrow books for 1-3 weeks for free and that helps a lot. I borrowed a few books of Nora Roberts and that has helped.
Aside from the few books I bought when I bought my first e-reader, I don't buy many e-books because the cost is quite unreasonable for my budget for older books.
I am lucky that I happen to like a lot of the books that are for free (public domain plain vanilla books) and use calibre to create custom magazines for me to read, to help keep the overall cost of what I read way down.
I had a chuckle yesterday when I was in the Library and saw the discard sale. Hardcover discards are 50c and soft covers are 25c. Among them was "Smokin Seventeen" for fifty cents. Hard to go to the e-book store and pay $14 for the same thing after buying that!
