I bought Harry Potter books 1-4 in the boxed set the day after I finished reading Philosophers Stone. And I bought the hardcovers of 5-7 every single launch day.
I buy the books at full price that I am anxiously waiting for. Not waiting for anything right now because my interest right now is in older fantasy and science fiction from the 80s and 90s. But I won't have people telling me I don't buy books. Yes I went to the library, yes I went to discount book stores.
But its because I'm on a tight budget, low class budget, not that I'm cheap. I buy the books that matter the most to me. I'm in the process of going through every single Heralds of Valdemar series in chronilogical order and I'm buying them as I'm ready to read them. By the time I've bought the last ebook a new one will be out. And I'll have spent hundreds of dollars.
I'm willing to spend money; but on the books that are important and the authors who I come back to time and time again.
