When agency pricing came in, I started keeping a list of agency e-books I didn't buy. It has about 100 titles on it. Last week, in honor of the approaching one year anniversary of agency pricing, I tidied up the list and sent it to the appropriate five publishers. I have no idea if they'll pay any attention - probably not - but somewhat illogically I still feel better
And, it turns out I was able to get many of the books (in p-book, but WTH) from my local library and a few more from local used bookstores (yes, we still have a couple nearby). A bunch more were backlist titles that I already owned in p-book too, so I didn't really NEED them. So I've been able to read most of the books I hadn't already read for free, or nearly free, anyway.
Just wondering if other boycotting folks have a sense of how many e-books they haven't bought due to the agency issue, or if I'm the only one nerdly enough to actually keep a list...

P.S. Oh yeah, I probably should mention that I did cheat and buy 2 titles I really wanted to read and couldn't find otherwise, but I DID use my Groupon B&N gift card deal - amazing what rationalization can do for you!
