I now operate on the time system. I don’t go to the pictures (The entry price!) I wait until the DVDs of it are being sold 2nd hand on Amazon or wait for it to come on TV.
The same with music. I have a good back catologue of CDs (20/30 years all CDs bought very cheaply - I haven’t got one pirate job in my collection)) so that I can wait till a number I like comes on a freebie - This week it was a Phil Collins CD -
Everything comes to him who waits. It’s often the case that only one or two numbers on a CD are worth buying.
I have a great collection of B/W films and my paperback library is great Dharma Bums, Catcher in the Rye etc
So until the price of ebooks comes down I shall continue with the public library and keep a watching brief on the ebook price.
I may get an eReader for holidays and reread the classics in the same way that I have bought a 8GB Nanostyle for all my holiday music - 200 pops, 150 jazz titles and a smattering of classics - My nanostyle is not an expensive iPod but a similar product at two thirds the price - happy days - patience is a virtue that pays dividends
