Actually, I just bought some dead tree books on Amazon. It is true that these are books I wanted in my physical collection and I posted a thread about what format I would buy them in a few days back. I found them all in used hardcover from a penny to $1.99. Most were a penny. WITH shipping, they were $22 and for this I got 5 hardcover books, condition "good." I am giving some other books to my brother to make room.
Anyway, since I intended to add those to my dtBook collection, they are not the best example. I discovered this Kathrynne Valente, whose work I have not read yet but seems the kind of thing I would be into. Her eBooks are $10 or more and there are no cheap, used hardcovers as of yet. I'll try some of her stuff from the library but, if her eBooks had bee .99, I'd have snapped up all of them. If they had been $5, I'd have bought at least one and she would've gotten money from me. Anyway, I sure do love it when I can find a used hardcover for $1 on Amazon! :?)
