It wont.

I have already saved what I would have spent on pBooks I wanted to read, thanks to the Free sites and classic collections and the 'web... With over 1000 pbooks @ even $2 a book, you do the math...

It wont because anyone who buys one of these things is the type of person who makes frivolous purchases. We will buy more ebooks than we can read (before this you probably bought more paper books than you could read...you know, just to have them), upgrade devices within two years—if that long, and pay for repairs when the flimsy screens inevitably shatter.

Sadly probably very very true! But really, arn't books in general a "frivolity" anyway?
Me thinks someone is simply stirring the pot here....
