My personal stance is to buy *used* Agency books when I absolutely want the book.

We are supposed to be getting a price drop when a new lower priced paper edition comes out. But in most cases it doesn't happen. Also, the price drop sometimes brings the eBook higher then the pBook (without any discounts). So what is the benefit to the consumer? There isn't any. To be honest, it's getting to the point that I an considering a trip to the dark side which is actually not as dark as it used to be and that the white light is turning a very dirty gray shade now.
If they want us to actually buy their product, they need to make it such that we want to buy it. They took what we were willing to buy and made it into something else.
