I bought my reader because I emigrated and couldn't ship thousands of pounds of books with me. Now I have come to prefer the digital format over paper books, but that doesn't mean I'm prepared to pay more for them or indeed that I can afford to.
Luckily, I tend to prefer golden age sci fi, so downloading a bestseller is not something that I do.
If I wanted bestsellers, I would resent the pricing strategies and attitude of the publishing industry and use that resentment to justify obtaining the books via bittorrent, like so many others do. I bet illegal downloads outstrip legal ones...
