I am very sad to say that I only have one auto-buy on my list anymore: the final WOT book (I am going to finish that damn series if it kills me). It's apparently agency-priced by Macmillan (I had no idea who Tor was associated with), so I may or may not be buying the next ebook... do I want to wait 3+ months for the ebook to drop, then pay $15+ for it? It'll probably be a used bookstore purchase, which is what I did with the last book released. Last book was a delayed ebook release, so I bought it used and left a "tip" for the author on his site, then passed the book on to my brother when I was done, and he resold it. We both got to read it without being "thieves", the publisher got jack from us, and I don't have a giant hardback sitting around my house. I'm happy with how it turned out.
Everything else I hand-pick, sometimes from authors I've read before, sometimes from good buzz (though that's not been working out so well for me...), mostly from recommendations or reviews by friends, goodreads and Amazon. I do tend to purchase predominantly from the Agency 6, but only when I'm ok with the price, which varies from book to book.
