That depends on how you want to cut it up.... I expect to have
all the ebooks I've purchased from now until the end of time. The problem is that for me to read all of them I have to be on a Win machine (Palm Reader, MS Reader, Connect Reader, Mobipocket reader.)
Perhaps the ultimate solution for reading is a UMPC or the equivalent. It certainly seems to bind one to MS, though, and only to a lesser degree Sony.
That doesn't mean that I'm giving up on my Sony Reader. Far from it.
What I'd really love is for someone to offer a secure conversion solution.
Aside from all that, I think I understand your point. Just that legal alternatives aren't all that many. And if you've got the credit, why not
use it? Granted, you want to use it smartly, but why worry about it excessively?
