The meaning of "certain amount" changes based on how much discretionary income I have at the moment, and how new the book is. For a new release, I will pay more than for a backlist book, but I probably wouldn't pay more than $15. I can't think of any book that I've EVER paid more than $15 for.

I have more books on my tbr list than I could read in my lifetime, so if a book is too expensive I have plenty to read instead. I didn't start to compare prices until the publishers price fixing. The increase in prices was shocking to me.
