I am not surprised by this, but count me as another person who isn't going to be buying Penguin ever again until they reverse this decision.
I don't buy ANY non-indie books unless I've read them at the library first. (In this way, I'm actually some buying books TWICE: if the library doesn't have a copy of what I want, I send a check and a "shopping list" to them and if I really like the book, I buy my own copy.) I can do that because in between my local library and the FLP, I'm kind of set on reading material for *checks watch* 20 years or so.
If I can't buy Penguin books for my library, then I won't buy them for myself. If Penguin comes out with something I absolutely CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT, I'll buy a copy used and send it to be cut-and-scanned for me. But I don't see that being necessary, seeing that I'm sitting pretty on a library of 1,500+ unread books at the moment.
