I mostly agree with the above - though I buy more books than before since having the options to explore tons of authors in e made me buy quite a few of their books, both print and e, books that otherwise I would not have discovered
Selling an ebook device on savings based on purchases of ebooks vs similar print books is disingenuous though and to my mind it is exactly the kind of argument that makes one shy away from them.
