For me in South Africa I would need to cost in shipping as our book stores are not great. A relatively small English literate population spread out over a large geographic area a long way from the large markets makes it difficult for local stores.

Another cost saving is not having to go into shopping malls. In this I believe the psychological benefits out way the cost benefits but the petrol and parking costs must be factored in.

Yesterday I plumped up my collection by downloading some very interesting books for free here at MR.

A growing tendency is for authors to give away a first book in a series. This allows me to test and avoid a series I may not like saving me money.
