I have no "must buy" authors from the agency 6, but I've bought a few, mainly with discounted gift cards, because the books were discounted or I wanted to read something from a GOH at an upcoming convention.

To some degree, I've stopped buying from the major publishers and have little, or no, regrets. As other have said, why spend so much money on what will amount to a short time distraction? In the way of movies, I won’t buy one for $20 - $25 either. I can wait.
You've made me think. And the more I think about it, what I said in the previous post is probably very true. I wouldn't spend full price to replace my favorite paper books, but if they were only $2 or $3 I probably would. In that case, I really would be buying less "new" fiction.
