I bought more than 30 books for $10+ dollars last year, the majority of them being non-fiction and pop-sci. Some of them I need for my work, some are unrelated and I just want to read about the subject. I am reluctant to give more than $10 for fiction, though I have quite a few purchases in the $5-$10 interval. There are some good cheap reads and freebies out there, but the majority of the books in this price category simply do not catch my interest.

I am a very pretentious reader and usually this puts me in the position to buy the books I (think I will) like. Of course, as long as I can afford it. Having said that, I have made good use of discounts and coupons of various kinds. Also, my purchase rate has declined recently, having filled substantially my e-library last year. I will probably even skip the current 30% off at Kobo.
