This isn't a fair assumption. I've owned a Kindle for 2 years, a Fire HD for 1 year, and have "purchased" probably about 800 Amazon books in that time. [Can't get an exact count because I delete many books after I finish with them.] Do you know how many of those I've purchased for more than $0? Ten, and only one of them cost more than $2 because it was a college textbook. I've got about 200 non-Amazon books on Calibre that I've gotten through publisher giveaways or on sale elsewhere, and again the cost of the books that I've had to actually pay for is never more than $2 and only seven of these fall into that category.
So, that conservatively puts me at owning 1000 ebooks at a cost of [at most] $50. Nowhere near the $10,000 estimate you have here.
