That would be my answer to but no such option. I can't read paperbacks anymore as the font is just to small and often with back list titles the books are older and used and yellowed. Just very hard for me to read now.
I am all ebooks now.
I too have a few favorite authors that have back lists out that are over my price limit for older titles. Mary Balogh is one of those. So as much as I love the author, the books aren't new so besides not wanting to pay new book prices, I already waited as it is so a little longer wait isn't going to kill me. I put them on the price watch list on ereaderiq and hopefully get an email with a price reduction at some point.
I do have a different upper limit for brand new releases and back list titles in my budget.
So I will not buy a used or newish paperback, I will wait until the kindle version is lowered in price. Then I buy it. It'll still be the same back list title a year from now.
