Plus highly portable library of books and the neat factor.

Your numbers would be off for those of us who can't afford to buy new books on a regular basis. I mostly read library books, buy second-hand and borrow from friends.
Plus, I think you forgot to add the cost of the actual ebooks (and not just the ones in the $2-$5 range) (assuming the owner of said device buys some ebooks).
