I didn't buy the Kindle to save money, but have found I will break even quickly. I'm getting a lot of the classics for free, instead of $14.95ish (18 so far). My "new" Kindle books have been cheaper than retail (even using B&N or Borders coupons). I also tended to buy books faster than I could read, but now I can download samples to satisfy that urge. I'm reading more hardcover new releases because they are so cheap. I preferred larger paperbacks to the "mass" market paperback size, so I'm still saving money there. There is not a used bookstore close and the bookstore is 20 minute drive, so I'm probably saving gas.

So yeah, I will eventually be ahead and reading a lot more because it is more enjoyable with my new gadget.
