I'm going to back pedal a bit on what I said. If once you get an ebook reader device you don't pay for ebooks... ie you read public domain or darknet (please don't) ebooks then the reader will pay for itself quickly and will cost you less in the long run than paying $8+ for each book.

But, being pragmatic I think most readers want to read contemporary content so will be buying ebooks.
