I would argue that your most expensive ebook wasn't worth what you paid for it either. I paid $11.56 for it, and I found it to be a Did Not Finish. Fortunately, I got a 100% micropay rebate from Fictionwise (I miss those days!) for it, so I treat it as a freebie.

I answered that I spent 100x on ebooks compared to ereaders, but in retrospect, I suspect that it's really somewhere between 20x and 50x, since I think I actually bought 4 Nook readers, sold the original Nook back to B&N for a discount on one of the Simple Touches, one reader had a broken screen, and I picked up one reader for $15 or $25 on clearance. I'm counting the Nook Tablet because I did use it a few times to read stuff that I couldn't read on the PC or NST, like comic.
