I would say my spending is about the same or less.
In the past, I usually only bought if I knew I liked the author and would potentially want to re-read the book in the future. Sometimes I'd buy on impulse, but then would list and resell the book on either eBay or Amazon and recoup part of the cost.
Nowadays, given that you can't resell ebooks, I am more likely to carefully price check and/or add the book to an ebooks wish list or add the book to my list of library books to be on the watch for, rather than buy outright.
I like classics, so I feel like I have plenty of reading material between those, BN free books, author promotions, etc...
But if I see a bargain eBook that would replace a paperback or hardcover on my crowded shelves, I am inclined to buy it if it is under $3-4. More, and I've got to think about it.
I've been impressed with how much decent free material I've come across though. I can keep busy for a long, long time with just that!
