Also, I use Bing as my search engine and you accumulate points every time you do a search. One of the things you can turn points in for is a $5 credit at Amazon. It's not much, but I used it to (mostly) fund the purchase of my current Big 5 book, Shadowland.
For an author I know around $5 is a price I won't balk at, and I will go as high as $9.99 if it is a 'must-have' book, but that's my cut off for even well known authors. For unknown authors I must admit I don't buy many, and their best bet is to offer me a free copy and see if they can hook my interest. I'm wary of reviews as they have seldom paid off in the past. I mostly stick to known authors and find myself re-reading known authors and familiar books most of the time now.
