I have not slowed my pace of buying hardcover books since getting an ereader device 3+ years ago. Instead, I have increased my fiction buying.
Previously, I rarely bought fiction; just a few authors whose writing I particularly liked. I mainly bought hardcover nonfiction. Today, I continue to buy hardcover nonfiction and hardcovers of a few favorite fiction authors, just as i did previously; however, I have greatly expanded my fiction reading so that I am now buying many eboos (fiction) that I would never have bought in either hardcover or paperback -- and they are mainly indie authors. I refuse to buy in any format the James Patterson-type junk. Since January 1, I have purcahsed more than 150 fiction ebooks, which, as I said earlier, are wholly new sales, not replacement sales.
