An enthusiastic reader would very likely buy a lot of secondhand books. Even at reduced pricing, eBooks cannot compare to books from Op Shops, yard sales, Secondhand bookshops and swaps. It would be cheaper to continue to buy second hand books and have them scanned by the 1dollarscan outfit. A group of us have formed a "co-op" and sent bulk books to 1dollarscan to save on shipping costs. Currently we have had more than one thousand books scanned - all at the the one dollar price.
Recent best sellers from top authors (recent being over the past decade or two) at a dollar plus a copy beats even most Amazon Indie prices. We usually pay a dollar or less for the book - most of the Op/Charity shops locally will sell a large plastic carry bag of books at two bags for five dollars - so the total price comes in at well under two dollars.
