Well, round these parts people seem to howl if they have to pay significant prices for any ebook.
I think it comes down to what you value. I'm willing to pay a premium for quality nonfiction( the most I ever paid for a book was $30 or so for Ken Burn's "The Civil War"). Recently I paid $14.99 for another well-written nonfiction ebook, "Freedom Summer." I just don't think people are going to ever write quality nonfiction for the $5 or less most folk here seem to want to pay for ebooks.I guess I'm kind of giving to the cause here rather than maximizing my book buying dollar. Another way I "give to the cause" is to subscribe to Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine- because I want to see the SF short story form survive.
Generally, for the mystery and SF fiction I buy to keep myself entertained, I do look to maximize my dollar and look for the best deal I can get. I'm likely to make a big exception for that come July , when GRRM comes out with ADWD, but generally, for genre fiction I'm all about bargains.
