I need a little perspective, I think. For those who think $12-$18 is too much to pay for a new release ebook (that you're interested in reading, of course), I'd like to know just what non-essential items you ARE willing to spend $12-$18 dollars on. In other words, what $12-$18 frivolous purchases do you value MORE than the experience of reading a good ebook (novel-length, 350-600 pages)? Forget owning, resale, and lending rights for the time being. Just compare experience to experience.

For instance: if you're a wine drinker, is a $15 dollar bottle of wine more valuable to you than the experience of reading a good book?
