Well, as to hardbacks, I've said it before and I'l say it again, if I want a book in my dtBook collection, I try to wait until I can get a cheap, used hardcover on Amazon. If I really, really want it (i.e. some graphic novels I collecting, if its a Gaiman book), only then will I buy it new in dtb. Given the nature of eBooks, they should be $5 or less. I have bought a couple that were more, though. Actually, I bought Hounded and Hexed and they were $7.99 each, so I think my "sqeal point" is more like $10 but I have to be very confident that I'll like it.
