2) I get some free content (Project Gutenberg) , but most of my content, I either get from Baen books (vast majority) or from Connect. I do have a few books that I have either purchased from the author directly or purchased and then converted to lrf.
3) I read perhaps an hour a day during the week and several hours a day on weekends or days off.
4) I don't listen to audiobooks while reading, but I do enjoy audiobooks while in the car.
5) I got the $50 bonus when I bought my eReader at Christmas. I've purchased about 40 books from sony since then. Personally, I would be happy if I could buy all my books for the eReader, but there isn't enough content yet, so I continue to buy some 10-15 books per month from Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
6) I do have some PD books (mostly classic), but most of what I'm interested in is more recent works, thus paid content. I also keep in mind that if we don't pay for it, then the authors won't write it and that people who refuse to pay for a book are eating the seed corn.
7) Given that I have bought ebooks in that price range, I would say the answer is yes. Right now, the market says that books first come out in hard back, then paper or trade and that ebooks sale for same price of what you can buy in the bookstore. I would not pay hard back prices for a work that is available in paper.
