Depends on where you live. Here you can get very few foreign language books and those that you find cost 2 to 3 times more than US ebooks. And having them shipped costs a bundle. So I made my money back in no time, I get to read a lot of books I would otherwise never have a chance to read, and during my frequent travels (8 times a year for 15 days on average) I just take one reader with me. So it as frivolous as bread and water for me.

I understand the objections of both of you, but for many people ebook readers are more than good value for money.
