I think most of my recent purchases have actually been second-hand pbooks, since everything on my Amazon wishlists seems to have risen by about 30%. I'm still buying too many second-hand pbooks, but overall I'm just about breaking even.
I did buy two backlist books the other day - the first two Blackbird books by Freda Warrington, which she seems be self-republishing for kindle. I remember really liking this unusual fantasy series back when it was originally released in the 80s, and I'm kind of hoping it hasn't been visited by the suck fairies in the meantime. I have no idea when I'll find time to actually read them, though, which does mean it was probably an unnecessary purchase, but then again, they don't count towards my TBR when I've already read them.
