I sometimes compare eBook price to pBook, but not when new.
Either the ebook is available at the price I want it, or it's not. If not then I check my on-line book swap to see if someone has it for trade in pBook form. If not, then I'll see how long the WL line for it is. Usually, I can wait quite a while on a WL when I'd be getting it for $2.60 which is what I bought my credits for. I have mounds of TBR books anyway.
If it's not there, and the WL is long, I'll give my local UBS's a try. They're a bit more expensive than on-line, but I can inspect the book.
After that, it's Amazon's used book prices.
Then the library, but only when I'm ready to actually read it.
I've hardly even gotten to the point of buying any book
new unless it's for my keeper shelf. And there are very few series I bother with keeping in physical form.
The only type of book I'm a routine 'First Purchase' customer is an ebook.
