I get most of my books cheap or free, which makes me (somewhat) more willing to pay the big bucks for the occasional (rare) best seller that I want to get at hardback prices. There are only one or two authors for whom I'll shell out over $10 for a new book, but for them I'll do it even though I'll grouse a the high price. I figure it all averages out to well below $5/book.
