I love buying ebooks I want to read when they are on sale or free, and I do read them (eventually). I've loaned books I haven't yet read through Amazon's loan feature, so others benefit. It is an 'addiction' that doesn't break the bank, harm my health, worry my family, or clutter my home. Each month I spend probably half what others spend on cable television or going to movies. Books enrich my life immeasurably and I'm not suffering.
I read more than ten books each month. By having a good selection of books purchased cheaply I have plenty to read without having to pay full price each time I want to read a book. The guidelines suggested in this thread have allowed me to make wiser purchasing decisions.
