Why's that?
There are undoubtedly average income people, from wealthly countries, who pay US$150 for a book reader, and then, some of them, buy books to put on it when they could get them free from a library. Thus the thread about people who compulsively buy books they can't comfortably afford. But the most plausible explanation for paying good money for entertainment you can mostly get for free is affluence.
Of course, in America, affluent people think themselves middle class. Not too many in the 10 percent, or 1 percent, admit to it.
