Me neither. If it's a good book I might end up reading it a few times and get close to 100 hours or more out of it. But even a measly 10 hours worth of pleasant reading for 5 bucks is not too shabby.
Of course, you could run into a bad book not worth reading even once, but one could argue the odds of that happening are even higher with the modern titles. Should they be priced less for that reason? Work from the bottom until they prove themselves?
