Before the publishers started their price fixing, I didn't compare prices to paper books. I could use coupons to lower the price or look at different stores so it didn't matter. When they started price fixing, no matter where I bought the book the price was the same. That's when I noticed that quite often the price was higher than the cheapest paper version available (regular retail only) . I had so many books on my tbr list I quit buying. I also started borrowing from the library at that time. Even now that books are being discounted again, I don't like buying from the big publishers anymore. I just don't like being cheated which is what price fixing felt like to me.
