I'm with most here. I've paid amazon 12.99 for a new release, that seems to be my tops. I won't go beyond that. There is an awful lot of material that I can read to keep me happy and occupied. I still have a stack of TBR material in paper form that I had before I bought my first Kindle. Of course I try to mix in a classic or two from time to time. I have a ton of those loaded and waiting in my ipad. So in essence I can wait the big publishers out.
Every now and then a new book does come out that I think is a must read. Fall of Giants is one. I would have broken my 12.99 limit for that one, but at 19.99 I said no way!! I'm buying the HB (cheaper than the ebook from amazon), of course I'll get a read, my dad, my wife, my sister, and any others who want to read it. Then I'll donate it to the library or trade it in a used book store. My form of protest. At 12.99 or even 14.99 (for that one) the publisher would have had a definite sale on day one. At 19.99 they ended up with one book getting several reads.
