My philosophy is that the library's purpose is to find authors/books that I like well enough to spend $$ on! So purchases of new ebooks are few and far between.
However, I have been spending $ to have many of my old, worn, not-available-digitally, and oop paperbacks scanned (mostly just to pdf). Most of these 'old friends' aren't likely to be ebooks in my lifetime, but when I've been fortunate enough to find a few, I've gladly purchased them! So, counting scan costs, I'd say $50-$60 mo.
I'm another who would LOVE to have the OED on my eReader - Shorter version would be fine....
