I agree.
I cannot afford the latest and greatest and the prices that go with it in e format, so I choose affordable stuff.
And I love the public library. Reading doesn't need to be expensive. Even as a kid, before e-books, reading was a "poor man's" hobby, and it still can be. Expensive incarnations of books don't stop me from reading.
Once a week I also browse smashwords for freebies. Discovering new authors is great, and if I buy their books, they are drm-free and not too expensive.
