Due to restrictive DRM being on most ebooks on the market, I have bought very few ebooks.
I DO however download books from the free repositories such as Gutenberg project and from here.
It's a shame though, as my book spending has dropped dramatically as well since I adopted ereaders years ago.
I would have spent probably $20 a month minimum with spending spikes when certain books I wanted were released in pbook format.
But I don't tend to buy physical books anymore, as I prefer the convenience of ebooks.
So a lot of re-reading, legally free books and one other thing I do is read a lot of new authors books where the first book is free, which can be interesting.
One day, when I can reliably and regularly buy ebooks in general without DRM, I'll probably get back into my old spending habits. Until then, I guess I'm a lost customer.
removal of DRM happened with music, so I expect one day it'll happen with ebooks.
