Depends on what you call "worth the purchase". You save an average of about $5 a book for the download so figure out how many books you read for a price comparison.
However, I love it because I can carry a multitude of books around with me weighing less than an ounce. I can download samples, blogs, newspapers, magazines and many authors are starting to write books FOR the Kindle. For someone with a short attention span (me) it's great to be reading something and immediately change to something else. Also if you forget to take your reading glasses to the doctor's office you can make the print bigger
Speaking of bigger print, it will allow my legally blind neighbor to have a MUCH larger choice of "big print" books than she has now.
So far, I haven't found anything I don't like about it except that it doesn't access my already full Amazon wish lists
