I'll buy even from Penquin (though I feel unfriendly towards them) if a novel I want is under $7, for novelettes I'll buy if under $5. The rest go into my wish list. Why buy at a big price? Just last week more than a dozen that were on my wish list dropped from $8 to $5. And it's not like I don't have a backlog of books I've already bought to read. I read so quickly having to read some particular book right now just doesn't make much sense. By tomorrow I would have finished it and be looking for something else anyway. With my reading speed books are commodities. Price and volume matter.
