I, for one, have not bought a book in years. Main reason is that I moved back to my hometown, and we have no bookshop. I don't have an Amazon account, so I've never purchased books or anything else form them.
The last book I bought was a hardback "The Canterbury Papers" which I only bought because I was waiting for 6 hours for Pirates of the Caribbean 3. (Yes, I was dressed in my pirate regalia for the opening night)
With an ebook reader, it'll be so much easier for me to hop online, purchase/download a book and start reading immediately. Not only will my reading increase, but my book-spending will increase as well.
