Oh the irony.

This is where perhaps you pretend how more enlightened you are.
My translation was 'He can afford to not care about price, he must be well off.' (although I suppose it could also mean that he desires to own fewer books then I do)

As someone who's never been able to afford full price for all the books I'd like to own I can't quite understand not caring about book prices. I'm still adjusting to the fact that between $1.99 sales and various freebies, I can afford to own more ebooks worth reading then I actually have time to read.

Before ebooks I never had to consider if I'd actually have time to read a book (just desirability, cost and space)
