When I was buying paper books, I never bought hardcovers, no matter how much I liked the author (with the exception of a few omnibus editions), and I often bought used copies at a 50% discount to the list price. I always had a TBR pile that was more than I could read in a month. Now that I have an ereader, I have a virtual TBR pile that is more than I can read in the rest of my life, although that includes the freebies that I expect that I will never read. I don't like any author so much that I am willing to pay more than mass market paperback prices for their work so they can jump to the front of my TBR pile.
