I would not consider "saving" to be the direction my money has been moving in since I first acquired a Kindle. I'm fortunate enough to live near several very well-stocked libraries and bookstores which offer an interesting selection at occasionally deep-discount sale prices.
That said, I do spend my e-book money on generally rather different things than I buy in paper (and for those which I would buy in paper, there's a roughly equivalent price overlap between used sf/fantasy and reasonably-priced backlist ebooks of such).
And a fair portion of the e-books I've bought on sale to sample from smaller publishers and the like are things that were nice enough to read, but I wouldn't particularly care to have a paper copy of lying around.
And I suppose for the latter two categories I do save space that I can then apply to acquiring even more deluxe hardcover artbooks and the like.
But yeah, I'm basically buying and acquiring more books than ever now. They've just gotten somewhat easier to store away and hide.
