Same here. I loved to go to Half-Price Books before I converting to reading ditigal books. Before Agency Pricing, the amount of money I spent on new ebooks was obscene, truly. (I don't have 800 pairs of shoes, but wow, I have far more ebooks than I'll ever be able to read!)

When I made the choice to not buy ebooks for more than I could RETAIL for new print books (assuming that I could get most new print books for approx. 25% off cover), I saved a whole lot of money....and borrowed more books at the library.
