Many of my purchases are impulse buys. I see it, buy it, read it. It isn't that I don't have a big backlog--I do. But I will opt for something fresh if the mood hits me.

Impulse buys require impulse buy prices. If the work is expensive, I "Wishlist" the book and that is usually the end of it. If enough time passes (and it usually does) the Wishlist gets cleaned out and nothing gets purchased. That's how it has been recently.

Economists will tell you that the supply/demand curve is, well, a curve. I suspect it is much more like a step function for eBook prices--one with a steep drop-off.
