I live in the US, so it might not apply to everyone, but my PRS-505 has more than paid for itself in free content. And as for the ones I buy? The last one I bought is $17.13 plus shipping on Amazon. I got it for $9.99. from Sony. The one before that is $15 plus shipping at Amazon. I got it for $9.99 at Sony.

This is not to mention all the free magazines and newspapers I get by using the "Fetch news" feature of calibre.
