I came to my reader from paperback books. I'm not a fan of hard cover and rarely found a book that I couldn't wait for to come out in pb. With that in mind, 10 bucks for a book is more than I'm willing to pay most of the time. Are there books that I just can't wait for? Maybe... but so far, I think the most I've paid on Amazon has been about $7 and change.
For now at least, I see no reason to pay 10 dollars for a book that I can probably find in paperback in Walmarts for about 5-7... and I have no problem with buying that paperback and passing it on to a friend or trading it at work. Would I rather have it on the reader? Sure, but not at nearly twice the price.
