How I wish ebooks had been available 30 years ago! My preferred language for reading is English and when I lived in Québec City English books were difficult to find and choice was very limited. French books were always much more expensive, pretty much double the price!
In Montreal I frequented the second hand book stores, lots of English books available but space in the house became an issue!
I love that I can get library books without leaving home, public domain books for free and can "shop" around for the best deal without going from one place to another. Also a big plus for me is that for vacations I can bring 1 ereader with hundreds of books in my suitcase instead of limiting myself to 3 or 4...and not haul around that added weight.
It's saved me time, space and money because I would have read just as much as I do now with my ereader. So ebooks is not just about the money, it's about choice, convenience and space for me!
