I don't have a purchased TBR stack any more.
I used to (before ebooks), but that was only because I wanted to ensure that I was never out of reading material. Since the immediacy of ebooks has all but eliminated the possibilty of me ever being caught with no book to read, my TBR pile has become entirely virtual.
So when I finish one book, I browse my TBR/wishlist to decide what I want read next. If the price isn't ludicrous, I buy it and read it. A pile of pre-purchased books that I may never get to (or may no longer be interested in by the time I get around to them) just doesn't make sense to me any more. I gobbled up sale ebooks for a quite a while when they first came out--I've since deleted most of them.
I have more than enough in my virtual TBR to last me a lifetime as well. If I ever find that my reading habits are putting a strain on my finances, perhaps I'll resort to bargain hunting. But as I'm fairly frugal in every other aspect of my life, I don't think I'll have to worry about it.
