It depends. I'll spend more for non-fiction than for a novel or the romance novellas. And if I'm rebuying a book I already have, $7 is really to much esp if that author has 30 or 40 that I'd like to rebuy. Of course new books might end up being a complete waste of money. I only kept about 1 in 10 when I was buying paper, the rest were wasted money, so every $7 on a new book is a gamble. And it depends on how many already bought unread books I have, currently about 30. And how many are on my wish list, over 400 now. If I have a large backlog I'm much less willing to put down money for any book unless it's too good a bargain to pass up. I only have so much money, and time. If they want either from me the publishers are going to have to compete for it.
