Just to be entirely clear, we're talking about _ebooks_ here.

I probably do spend £20+ a month on books (these days that is only two and a half full price paperbacks).

However, what I actually spend now is only part of the picture. In your hypothetical, I'd be able to browse every published cookery book for recipes. And that's just one example: I could check any reference I wanted, look up any quote, it would be priceless.

Yes - the cookery book example is genius.
