I do. I mean it depends on the sales. Many books I read only come out in paperback or maybe trade paper, so when agency was in place the ebook would be 7.99 like the paperback when they came out. After that agency thingamachingy a lot of the publishers dropped the prices on the new stuff even. So the pb was still 7.99 and the ebook was 6.59 for example. Other publishers went straight for the $4.99 price for the ebooks. HarperCollins is good for that. I got a series of books that just came out or maybe a couple of weeks for $1.99 on sale.
I am sure a lot of that has to do with genres too and I buy pretty much all my books from Amazon.
But I don't just read new releases, I still have a lot of back list to read too. So snap up on sale I do.
