Yes, keep in mind an eBook reader is not a mainstream device like a cell phone, GPS or MP3 player... so most people have no idea what they are talking about when they say they want "more battery life" and "internet access". Current devices have excellent battery life and internet access isn't really needed. Although it is nice to have on my Kindle, I do use it very rarely.

The 9-20 a month is interesting... I would translate that to 1-2 books a month. I am closer to 2-4 books a month right now.

If someone asked me I would say unless you read AT LEAST 1 book a month, don't even think about getting an eReader... you will probably fell you paid to much for it.

I would also say for people that are ALWAYS reading... they always have a book with them and read every spare chance they get an eBook reader is pretty much a must have... and they will probably save money on content unless they are reading 100% from the library.
