Nope, before I got my reader I was a dedicated bargain hunter. Second hand, mainly, which means that the author got no recompense from me whatsoever. There were very few authors I would buy brand new in hardback.
The authors got a real boost from me when I went all ebook, all the time. I now buy probably at least three or four new releases a month (on new release Tuesday, for cozy mysteries), all in ebook, and pick up backlist titles (also ebook) throughout the month when I can.
