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?
Since I'm willing to wait until it hits my libraries, $18 worth of reloads and a trip to the gun range have more value to me. In the meantime, I'm listening to previous new releases that just hit the library.
