I probably spend between $25-35 per month on books and music, very little on apps, I have the ones I want.

Before heading out on long trips I will also add movie rentals, and more books.

Love having a large music library for long flights and layovers.

You're right. That leaves us with boatloads of survey research showing significantly higher satisfaction with iOS and significantly higher intention to purchase another iOS device.

I think a lot of it is the FEAR that it will be hard. So many of us take the path of least resistance. It's not so much that we love the ecosystem but more that we fear the transition and learning curve to a new one. Modern life is complicated...
