Questions you ought to ask yourself before deciding to buy a book.

One more: Am I going to read it right away?
The Stephen King came out just last week and I get that a rabid King fan might want to read it
now. But, it also means no deal or special price, so if you're not going to read it right away, it makes all kind of sense to wait and see.
However, you might also want to consider the compulsion to read something as soon as it comes out. If everyone you know is reading it now and you want to be able to discuss it with them, or if you're afraid of being spoiled, then those are reasons. Otherwise, it will be just as good if you wait a bit and anticipation is fun in itself.
