This is where I differ with Becca Ann - doesn't matter before or after agency pricing, favorite authors or not makes little difference, no books over $8. I am not interested in paying more for books, however I will gladly pay less and amazon allows me to do exactly that,

I do like your "rules". I can't say that I follow them exclusively as I will occasionally buy a new hard cover release and pay more but you have proposed a good general rule to follow. An addition that I find myself following is when a publisher shares the same or more for the e-version I tend to not buy either copy. I've noticed on Amazon that there are quite a few instances when the e-book costs more than the paperback.
The upside of following this"rule" is that I am exploring authors that I might not have sampled.
