I tend to buy "authors" rather than "books". If I buy a book that I enjoy (very often via a recommendation in the "Reading Recs" forum here at MR), then I'll generally buy all of that author's books. I'm also still in the (lengthy) process of replacing my rather large paper library with eBooks, so many books are already a known quantity to me. At the moment, for example, I'm buying a few of Anne McCaffrey's eBooks every week, because they've only recently become available as eBooks in the UK. I typically buy 3 or 4 eBooks a week to add to my collection, even though that's way more than I actually read.
