I just had the following experience:<\/p>\n
I was reading a 30 page PDF report on my computer screen.\u00a0 At page 9, I decided that I wanted to finish reading this report somewhere else other than in front of my computer screen and possibly at a later time.\u00a0 I decided the best thing to do was to print out the report, so I could take it with me and also note that I was in the middle of page 9.<\/p>\n
Not counting the time I spent printing it and stapling it together, the cost at about 5 to 10 cents per page for the printer, the paper, and the ink was a total of $1.50 to $3.00.<\/p>\n
If you add these instances up over a year, how much would it be worth for me to have a device that would allow me to avoid the printing cost and wait time yet allow me to take the article and read it at a place and a time of my choosing.<\/p>\n
At some point in the future that I cannot predict, the price of the device will drop below how much it would be worth to me.\u00a0 At that point, I will be a grateful customer of the company that sells the device at a cost below its worth to me.<\/p>\n
