I haven't saved money, but I have saved time and vast amounts of frustration. I live in a small Northrn community 6 monts of the year and there are no books or even magazines for sale. There is a small library, but I long ago read all of the books I was vaguely interested in and requests are limited and slow (6-8 weeks) to arrive.
My home libray has 15381 ebooks of which usually more than half have copies available.
My favorite genre is mystery and the BC Library to go has over 2000 mystery/suspense books of which 481 are available today. Coincidentally this is approximately the total number of mystery/suspense books that they had in April 2010.
I have possibly saved money on actual books as I haven't bought as many due to the library selection, but the price of the ereaders I own is still over the amount I used to spend on books in several years. Not a penny of it was wasted though IMO.
