Haven't you been buying ebooks for at least since Baen started out? That would make it 15 years, or $467 a year.

Compare that to someone buying a new fully decked out Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboard, at €4500 ($6147), which feels "old hat" after 3-5 years (to many players, because 3 new versions are out by then, at least), and suddenly buying those ebooks looks cheap in comparison.

I don't even want to compare it to someone buying a new digital Hammond B3 organ, or a high-end Roland, Lowry or Wersi. For the price these things cost new, you could buy a fairly large car.
