Well, let me tell you this ...
I used to buy SQL books every month, sometimes two or three. On average, each book is about 40 dollars. Same book, Kindle format , is about 50% less, 20 dollars, sometimes even less. I've paid 11 bucks for a computer book.
Trade in? never did that because who wants a SQL 2000 book when we're now in Denali or SQL 2012? hahahaha... plus those damm books were heavy as hell, 1k pages some of them. Having all those books on a 8oz weight device is awesome.
Overall, I think I've saved a bit. Not to mention physical space at home.
Now, regular titles or novels? I think I am losing money. Like other one said, I can't trade-in plus somehow, having classic titles on paper may be better long term? Anyway, I barely buy paper books, unless it's not available on Kindle format.
