As libraries carry more and more digital media, there will be more & more benefits to owning an eReader for people like me.
Do your research and make a realistic book budget,, if you havent already. I hate to see you spend $150+ on a reader and not be happy with costs and quality of selection.

I didnt realize used book costs are that high. In my area there arent any used book stores. Libraries have put them out of business. Still if $4 is more than you're willing to pay, then really look at the indie publishers to see if they will satisfy your reading habits.

Regarding libraries -- Are they suffering budget cuts in your town/state/province? This may affect their digital inventory. In my state Overdrive and all ebooks are scheduled to end July 1st. Results of a $10 million budget cut.
