Frankly, one of the reasons I love e-books, besides the portability, is that the Reader pays for itself in savings over time, especially when all the free material (classics, creative commons, web content, etc.) is factored in. It's even affected by used book purchasing; I see no need to purchase an old copy of a classic philosophical work if I can get a nice edition from Mobileread or Feedbooks for free. For more recent works, it's a toss up and depends a lot on the availability at my local used book store (The Book Nook in Glen Burnie, MD) or at Daedalus Books (an outlet that has a lot of remainders).
