This is the same as saying if you can afford an expensive bookcase then you can afford to pay full retail for hardback books. Sure, I purchased very nice custom stained birdseye maple bookshelves (no oak for me since oak releases a gas that causes objects, especially lead, to deteriorate faster) with doors for my books and collectibles but that's because I want furniture that I won't have to replace in my lifetime and can hand it down to the kids.
My ebook reading device is for convenience. I was reading on PDAs and PCs long before dedicated devices became mainstream. The number one reason I purchased an eInk reader was to read outside in bright light. When the kids were younger we spent many hours at the swimming pool and the playground and reading off a PDA didn't work too well. We still spend a lot of time at the pool in the summer and my Kindle (in a ziplock bag) is a great reader.
