As Blue Tyson said, it's a VERY insignificant number of books.

I'm not really boycotting the big publishers or DRM, I simply don't want to pay those prices.

I also like independent authors. Sure some books turn out to be duds, but that happens with books from major publishers too.

What gets me is that they (the big publishers) are shooting themselves in the foot with their shenanigans. If I see a new book today for $15 - $25 I'll wait for the price to come down. But by the time that happens I'll probably have forgotten about it.
