I don't think I've ever bought a new release in my life. And not even a hardcover ... until it's been out forever and can be found in the Barnes & Noble super discount shelves at the front of the store. Otherwise, it's a paperback for me, preferably a used one (these days).

I have enough paperbacks and ebooks in my "to be read pile" to keep me busy until the day I die (if I happen to live until I'm 175 years old, that is). Even if I cull my stockpile down to only the ones I might realistically ever read (there are many that I know I'll never open!), then I still have enough to keep me going until I'm 117 years old. By then, I'll probably be so senile as to be more likely to eat them than read them.

So this experiment won't be affecting me in the slightest.
