I've saved a bit of money *and* authors have gotten more money from me--I'm no longer buying used paperbacks. Instead I buy new non-DRM'd ebooks that are in about the same price range.
Impossible to sort out exactly how much money I've saved, because I buy according to my budget and borrow or seek out freebies for other reading material. I can say I've read dozens of formally-published ebooks and literally millions of words of stories that I wouldn't have read without it.
